I'd like the default stance when you beam down is with the weapons holstered...
Or better yet, with them out only if you are in a battle situation.

I strongly second the motion.

great idea.
also on beam out. I holster the weapon , press my com badge then quickly get the gun out again - this looks silly

You dont think it is to dangerous to beam on a Starfleet Station without a big gun in your hand? :)

/Agree, even for the Klingons.
I mean, how can I look badass with my quickdraw if I never have to draw?

Starfleet officers would normally never beam down with weapons drawn, hardly peaceful is it

Depends are they going into a hostile situation or are they going to a starbase. No one is going in with peaceful intentions when there are a bunch of Klingons holding federation scientists hostage. Though having a holster/unholster toggle would be nice. Maybe that is why Sulu always looks so nervous when i pay him a visit.

You never see the crew beam down with weapons out. They always rip out their weapon right after they beam!

I agree with this suggestion. The first thing I do is hit 'H' to holster my weapon as soon as I beam anywhere.

I think when your asked to beam down, you should have a check box for with weapons draw. That way, if you want your weapons out on landing, they are.

if it could remember my last choice... but I doubt they would clutter the npc window with checkboxes and such. also it makes sense to beam down on assault missions with weapons drawn. there were episodes where they beamed out with weapons drawn I think.
edit: also im guessing they would do this at some point but didn't have the time

Agreed with OP. This is a BIG annoyance for those of us with even a mild view of RP.
I also wouldn't mind the default for kits and armor being hidden, but that's probably unlikely.

If an officer expected danger on ground he would send all available red shirts first.
If all red shirts gone but resistence still on ground he will orbital bombard the planet.
After that he would Hail Starfleet Command and reports a lifeless asteroid in a stabil orbit around his sun.

I agree about beaming with holstered weapons, after all when we enter a system, shields are down. Also, I wish when we choose to holster our weapons, our away team membvers should holster them too.

Couldn't agree more. It just looks childish to carry a giant ass weapon in non-combat envirnment such as Starbase 1. Seriously.

I think for future missions, beaming down with weapons drawn should have a negative impact on your mission 'faction', at least initially.
I think it would be a good idea that if you go into an Admiral's office with your weapon out you immediately get a frosty message from the Admiral (or whoever's office it is) such as "Commander, I do NOT appreciate having weapons pointed at me in my office. Holster that weapon immediately and don't EVER do something so stupid again!"
Or if you are running around a Starbase / Space Station with your massive two-handed plasma rifle out, you are accosted by security guards who tell you to put that thing away or you will be escorted to the brig.

Beaming into a friendly starbase and seeing everyone running around with thier gun out is actually driving me nuts. You wouldn't think such a little thing like this would but IT MAKES ME MAD! Please stop it. It is a joke and this was the first indication that STO was gonna be stupid right from the get go. Evidently I am not alone in my thinking...

This has to be a very minor thing. I asolutely hate it that I beam everywhere with my weapons drawn. It makes absolutely no sense since the character automatically draws his weapon when a fight starts.
So it makes absolutely no sense for my characters to beam down with the weapons drawn and it is VERY un-Star-Trek.
Please beam down with no weapons drawn.
Also for my Officers.
And, please, when I holster my weapon make my Officers holster the weapons, too.
