Can someone please explain to me how they can "beam" two people from a planet to a starship at warp light years away... yet they cannot beam a person off a shuttle craft from orbit only a few hundred miles away?
I'm guessing that's transwarp beaming from the 2009 movie? That was Scotty's formula from the future, introduced into the past of the Kelvin timeline. It's not how transporters work, although it's massively inconsistent.Can someone please explain to me how they can "beam" two people from a planet to a starship at warp light years away... yet they cannot beam a person off a shuttle craft from orbit only a few hundred miles away?
