Which is your favourite transporter lighting effect?
The first Ferengi one with the wraparound effect was pretty cool.

Favourite Transporter Effect
- Thread starter USS Excelsior
- Start date
Favorite Federation one would be DS9's, I disliked Voyager's and wish they wouldn't of changed it. All they really added were blue balls anyway.
The TWOK one. Not only was it cool visually, but you didn't have to stand perfectly still during the process and it was possible to have an uninterrupted conversation as well.
I loved the swirly nuTrek one. Followed by Nemesis' updated TNG teleport.
I also kinda like the rubbishy Wrath of Khan one - just coz it looks so tacky and 2D.

I've always been quite partial to the Jem'Hadar transporter effect.
Voyager's is actually my favorite. I like the blue balls. My second favorite is the Wrath of Khan effect.
Also saves the time and cost of creating and dubbing in a new sound effect.The Klingon transporter from "Day of the Dove." They silently flicker in and out, then materialize.
Makes good tactical sense, why alert a enemy that you're arriving?
But that's just TNG's.
Yeah, I mean TNG/DS9.
I might be in the minority, but I kind of liked Enterprise's effect, beginning in the center of the body and expanding outwards as the little slider bar is moved.
I was always kind of partial to the TNG era Klingon and Cardassian ones.
I really don't get that... judging by the sensitive nature of the scan, moving around and chatting seems to be at odds with the whole process. I'd much rather go with a transporter that initiates some kind of momentary paralysis, so that there's no chance for error in the molecular scan.
In TNG's "Realm of Fear", the episode where Barclay has his transporter psychosis as the main plot device, he's fully conscious and moving around, as if he's in some kind of benign shower of light and bubbles. He's being dematerialized, dammit! You can't function with PART of your body intact! It just doesn't make any sense.
Damned right you do! Heathen!
Thirded. The spoon heads love their oranges and yellows.
+1.
I like the TNG one too, just because it's my favourite series. Although it does take a long time, doesn't it?
