Then again, with how much can be done casually by literally anyone who is on the ship, not just starfleet personnel, what even is privacy anymore in 2380?
But when someone else enters the holodeck through the door, are they virtually right next to you (100 miles from your starting point) or do they also start at your starting point? If two people enter the holodeck together and one person stays near the entrance while the other drives off, then a third person enters the holodeck, where does that third person appear?
It’s super inconsistent, and the technology seems to mostly work on dramatic convenience.
You’re coming to chat with your ex about feelings and jealousy and stuff? Door pops up right there. You’re coming to bust the porny creepo? You spawn just out of sight so you can catch him in the act. Here to rescue your friend in peril from semi-sentient noir characters? You spawn all the way across the map.
The computer is sassy like that.
