This is a friendly argo public service announcement.
You may not assume that every room of every ship or station is equipped with holoemitters.
It is likely that many ships have them in sickbays to facilitate the EMH, and some newer classes may (at the OOC discretion of their captains) have them installed elsewhere. Unless you are on your own ship, you MUST make sure that your character is in a location equipped with holoemitters before conjuring one into RP. To do otherwise could be considered godmoding.
Likewise, DS13 should not be considered to have holoemitters in every room. While the likelihood of holoemitters in the lounge area is seriously questionable, some ambitious players have long since established their presence there. The rest of the station, and especially personal quarters, are almost certainly not so equipped, unless some very special accommodations are being made.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that mobile emitters are twenty-NINTH century technology and should absolutely not be widely available in our current timeframe. Those mobile emitters that ARE available are certainly not available for recreational use.
Feel free to post any questions here or contact fleet staff directly. Thanks for reading!
