Yeah, although like the Star Trek transporter, it is convenient.
From what I’ve read, the transporter was a last-minute solution to compensate for the failure of the props department to complete production of the shuttles on time, which were originally the sole planned means to get the characters to planets, other ships, etc.
The best, in my opinion, Star Trek episodes involve ships in a battle setting.
Doomsday Machine, balance of terror any number where the ship and its crew fight enemies while traveling through space.
In the movies 2, 6 , 8, 11, 12and others with strong space battle sequences.
Just my personal taste in these things
