Just a note, they need coordinates to beam people up without pads at the other end, and people beaming down need coordinates so they don't just end up in space. Thus, the easiest way to beam from one ship to another with no coordinates is transporter pad to transporter pad.
This is only semi-consistently adhered to, though, like most things in Star Trek.

In any event, the precaution of using pads could be set aside if the ship is in as much jeopardy as the Enterprise and Mudd's ship were at that time. In fact, had the crew dispensed with the pads, they would not have blown the lithium crystals and the episode would be very short.
But I'm going to stop because this is beginning to sound like a discussion about feminine hygiene equipment.

You're right. Scotty exagerates everything. Also, the Enterprise is his baby.

All I can say is, at least they have female officers. It was the sixties--baby steps, you know.
