  • I’ve always been suspicious of any explanation they gave for their molecule scrambler. Starfleet is at core a military establishment, and they will say any kind of lie to keep the plebs in line and everything running smoothly. Also, I think the buffer allows them to use some sort of mass reserve to fix missing bits, I think Scotty explained something like that when he put himself in the buffer and turned on the refresh to cycle, and it just did the whole thing for Riker. Now, whether that buffer is holding particles or just a record of the poor destroyed original, I don’t know what to believe. (All speculation of course, based on years of transporter incidents.)














  • Star wars tech gives me a lot of anxiety. Sort of reminds me of going out on a boat with my friend who buys used boats and then does all of his repair work. You could be stuck out in space and rely on nothing unfixable with a toolbox going wrong. That on top of new information that suggests that ships traveling in hyperspace and popping out into a planet could destroy whole cities makes those junk heaps flying around even more dangerous.

    If the enterprise goes Kaput, at least you have replicators and an AI that can pretty much fix itself. If the computers go down they are dead in the water though. No amount of shifting around pieces of colored plexiglass will fix anything without the AI holding your hand.
