Site to site transport
I never liked this idea. Maybe because it differs with the tradition from TOS. What does everyone else think?

shareThe early seasons of ENT used site to site transport,they only use the transporter in case of an emergency or when the situation asks for it.

Most of seasons 1&2 although they sometimes do use the transporter.And they still use it in seasons 3-4 but they get more familiar with using the transporter.
shareI don't think you're understanding site to site from regular transporting.
shareThen explain what you mean
shareSite-to-Site Transporting basically means beaming a subject from one location that is NOT a transporter pad to another location that is ALSO NOT a transporter pad. Simples.

Thanks for clearing that up Foe wasn't TNG the first to do that transporting directly from the planet surface to let's say sickbay ?
shareAt the end of the pilot the beamed Riker and co from the alien ship to the bridge. Strangely many at times when someone is wounded they don't beam them straight to sickbay?
shareThey did several times I believe with that mother with the kid who died and an alien wants to replace his mother and those cryo-tubes in The Neutral Zone come to mind but several other episodes they show or say beam directly to sickbay.
shareActually, the alien ship did the beaming to the bridge. However, in the pilot there is a scene where Riker is directly beamed from the station to the tunnels below it where Yar is.
I first remember the term from "The Game" when Wesley uses the technique to beam himself from one corridor of the Enterprise to another when he's trying to evade the Game-brainwashed crew.

I never had a problem with it. I assume the way it works is the transporter dematerializes a person and pulls them back to the transporter buffer just as a normal transport. But instead of rematerializing them on the pad it sends them back out to the destination sight for rematerialization.
Basically it is the equivalent of beaming them back and then beaming them out again to a different locale but without the step of materializing them on the pad in between.
The thing I never understood is why have a human operator involved and not leave it totally up to the computer? Or why use pads at all? Or what happens if they don't slide the slider controls evenly or too fast or too slow?

I can teach you how to shoot so close to a raccoon that he craps himself.
