The time between the transporter animation starting and going to loading screen is the same for each faction.
It just appears to be 'cut off' for TOS characters because they flip out their communicator and spend a brief moment talking into it before beaming out. I'd love to see the animation to completion, but that means less play time.

To me lengthening the beam-out time would be worth it, especially since it so often ends in a long loading wait followed by a dump to the login screen anyway (those dumps are why I have pretty much stopped playing missions except when they have gear I really need as rewards, it happens three or four times out of five and really kills the immersion, especially in missions with a lot of map changes).
