Alright, I almost used beaming tech to aid Stephen's escape from Pegasus, thinking the space station would be like DS9, then it occurred to me that we might not have tech like that.

Does that mean we can't have a holographic [url=http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doctor]
Doctor[/url] like on Voyager?

Also if force field are expensive enough that you only find them on big ships does the same apply to energy shielding?
