Brawnfire posted:They need to have a stun + tractor beam to gently lower your target to the ground In alternate universe cool trek, the Defiant is the brainchild of federation scientists, not military guys, and basically loaded with extremely weird technology, and no one is sure how it works together but BY GOD they are sure it can gently caress up some dominions. "Execute maneuver delta 7" "Which one is that sir?" "Startup the holodeck and turn off the safety's. Then, infect the holos with a virus that reverses their programmed genetic code until they are complete monsters. Beam the monsters into that asteroid using mobile holo emitters. Reroute the replicators to the engine and fill an area twice the size of the ship with kool aid, directly behind us. Picard maneuver us within striking distance of the enemy vessels, while simultaneously detonating one of our spare warp cores with our spare artificial black hole supplies graciously by our allies at the romulan star empire. Ensign Davis will create a static warp shell around his own shuttle and fly back to the asteroid and transport the kool aid into the asteroid from before, retrieving the mutant holo monsters. Using modified torpedos, fire the monsters around the sun, so that they go back in time slightly, hitting the enemy ships before they spot us. Obviously."

the ultimate weapon combo in star trek is: 1) the borg shieldfucker beam 2) the most transporters you can possibly fit on a ship beam vital ship components into space. beam the crew into space. beam the crew into vital ship components. beam bombs onto their ship. beam their entire loving ship into the sun. what are we doing here

Yeah with a sufficiently powerful and flexible enough transporter you don't really need anything else. *Photon torpedo inbound! Self-defense system teleports torpedo past the ship where it continues merrily on it's way *They're firing phasers! Transport enemy ship, shields and all into the nearest gas giant *Enemy boarding party! Computer, transport every life form not wearing a combadge into space [note: children and pets would all have combadges because why wouldn't they]

Back in the 60s, Larry Niven wrote a non-fiction essay on the practical uses, implications, and effects a working teleporter would have: https://www.scribd.com/document/456908854/The-Theory-and-Practice-of-Teleportation-Larry-Niven-pdf

Hey so in 'Who Watches the Watchers', those people are definitely worse off after they all gently caress off at the end right? "Come check out all this bitchin technology we have but oh no we can't teach you how we made starships just that they do exist.. anyway BYEEEE"

Then they turned into Ray Walston and met Chakotay, and decided to chill out. They also didn't know that anything else existed, and once they did learn about it they assimilated stuff to their biology, or destroyed it. Also I think there was a thing about kess learning that they'd already gone full crusade on all life in their universe. I'm hazier on that second part.

"Come check out all this bitchin technology we have but oh no we can't teach you how we made starships just that they do exist.. anyway BYEEEE" I don't think having one small village have a close encounter with aliens is really going to make things worse off, especially since no one got autopsied or anally probed.

Maybe you're right, I just felt like with how much Picard frets about loving with their society they'd do less damage to them in the longterm if they just beamed everyone out of there and zipped away so a handful of people spent the rest of their days talking about the time they saw someone disappear instead of how it went down. But I guess there'd be no episode if they did the former instead of the latter

I think the episode works as a 'we came with good intentions' but things just snowball into a crisis by the end. It's also going to be hard to explain away someone they captured being from another species even if they just beam them out.
