The transporter detects and disables weapons mid beam. In at least one episode, they held a diplomat in the buffer to ask what to do about their weapon.
The computer differentiates. Not sure why this is such a leap. The system is able to perfectly rebuild you because it analyzes you as you come in. It needs to know what to rebuild so it scans every part to rebuild. The system is able to tell between a tricorder and a phaser. There is no way for a villain to capitalize on this if they’re the one beaming onto any Starfleet ship because Starfleet is in control.
You could attack the away party and nuke the planet but it makes no sense to do so. Congrats. You’ve killed a couple people from the away team. The only thing you’ve done is guarantee you’ll be hunted down by Starfleet.
The deflector shields prevent ships from ramming ships. The shields prevent matter from entering.
Anti matter is insanely volatile and you’re not going to be able to casually pack the ship full of it
Ships have been used as suicide vessels that let their warp drive go critical. They’ve done this on ships in space as well as entering space stations cloaked and then detonating.
Yeah I’m just going to go ahead and block you. You come into a Star Trek community throwing a fit about Star Trek, insulting it all based off of your own complete ignorance on the situation, and then have the fucking nerve to insult everyone else?
∆∆ Yeah, I figured they would react like that even with positive acknowledgement of anything logical they had to say, because surprise-surprise, they weren’t actually speaking in good faith, they were just angry someone pointed out plot holes in some dumb TV show that their own friend even acknowledged is just fiction and doesn’t matter.
You all are highly highly oversensitive and you need to grow up. If it’s just fiction don’t throw temper tantrums when people point out plot holes because you can’t tolerate any sort of criticism toward a TV show of all things.
That’s just a weak-ass cop-out and you and I know it.
Why even have plots if they have magic machines that can make any problem go away with arbitrary explanations of how they work that are neither consistent or logical within the rules of its universe?
It’s stupid. And I can bet you’re just going to respond “Well, I like it anyway so I don’t care” in which case why even bother responding?
🤔 So like, what would stop some diplomat from just bringing a suitcase nuke with them when getting beamed on board, and setting it off?

How the fuck is that even possible even by technobabble standards?
How would they differentiate a weapon from life-saving medical equipment, and why wouldn’t some evil villain capitalize on that fact?
Or just make the crew beam down on some planet for some meeting and nuke the meeting place?
Or just pack a ship full of antimatter and ram it into the Enterprise?
The whole way war is done in Star Trek is so fucking stupid 🤦

Nah, it is not “fucking stupid”.
See, that’s a logical and reasonable explanation and LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch ought to take lessons from you.
Ehh. I’m still not quite sold on that point, but I accept your explanations for the others.

Some repugnant ass behavior. I’m sorry to @LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch. Just ignore this jerk.

Even crazier, they can filter out disease in the transporter. That’s how they don’t bring plagues back onto the ship after going on away missions.
How do they tell what’s a natural microbiome vs. crazy alien bacteria? Who knows, it’s a fantasy space show. Just sit back and relax.
