Star Trek Fans, Question about Warp Speed
 

Doing some research for a marketing name, so is Warp speed 7 times the speed of light ? is that the fastest the enterprise can go ?

Jay

it's loosely based on the curve of space time being warped. say take a peice of paper, folding the paper in half with the ends touching and moving from one end to the paper to the other of end the paper without traveling across the paper... from that point on it's just TV...

Fastest speed which enterprise D had was Warp 10,but in series there was achieved bigger speeds too.

No its incremental. Warp 1 is light speed, then after it gets crazy. You should be able to google that.

So warp 7 is 1000 times the speed of light.

this..i knew it was some logarithmic scale

People have way too much time...

i want warp5 pussy to land on my cock

Looking again, I guess maybe warp 9 is 1000 times... 7 is maybe 600 times, I need something to line that graph up.

it's just a bit faster than ludicrous speed but not quite plaid.

Yeah, which enterprise do you mean, and to dork it up, in the TNG show there was some thing about spacetime being damaged with warp travel, I think esp. faster than warp 6 or something so then they started to try and use high speeds only in emergencies.

oh man. :(

actually Paris on Voyager was the first to ever achieve warp ten, when he did he slipped into every location in the universe simultaneously which caused him to evolve at an extremely accelerated rate turning into a fish, frog kind of thing and he banged Janeway and they spawned


Warp 10 is a no-no :winkwink:

before it was warp 9.9 but no one could break through that barrier

if memory serves me correct, to time travel to fetch the humpback whales, they had to achieve warp 9.9, but exceeded that in a romulan war bird

star trek IV (i think)

Well so what is the fastest speed a ship has achieved in ST, it can be enterprise or the romulan war bird ?

I thought Wrap speed was 7 times the speed of light but Warp 9 sounds cool.

i fucker this hooker once and got warps all over my cock....




.

They just add more .99999's to warp 9

Each one makes it faster as you approach 10

Oh, then they have transwarp which is faster than regular warp.

The limit of 10 did not entirely stop warp inflation. By the mid-24th century, the Enterprise-D could travel at warp 9.8 at "extreme risk", while normal maximum operating velocity was warp 9.6 and maximum rated cruise was warp 9.2. The Intrepid-class starship Voyager has a maximum sustainable cruising velocity of warp 9.975, the Enterprise-E can go even faster at Warp 9.985

I'm sure you haven't watched much in the last 10 years or so either... damn hard to believe you still got all that in the head still though haha

haha copied it from wikipedia, but I knew about all the stuff, just not the exact #'s

I mean, I just googled it.

dont forget transwarp will you...

:thumbsup great info in your previous post I should have looked there as well :) Paris hit Warp 10 in a modified shuttle

Darn, some good info even if its from WP. Its Enterprise-E for me

KLINGON war bird and the had to loop around the sun. get it right!:winkwink:

no idea, as i have only seen star trek1

actually it's 600 if you read the scale. warp 9 is 1000 times.

I ran across some official Star Trek manuel thing many years ago, in it there was a passage that said warp 8 was equal to 512 times the speed of light.

Use that as a guidepost.

I stand corrected......(brain cramp)

its the age factor

I was under the impression Warp 10 was impossible - even in the later shows. Warp 8 was standard in the old shows, and something above 9 was the later shows "standard".

:D

Actually they kind of fucked it up.

"Warp" is the ability to travel faster than light but without going back in time.

What they had to do in Trek 4 was go back in time. The movie text basically had them zooming towards the sun using its gravity to pull them past the speed of light without going into warp, thereby sending them back in time. However the dialog is kind of fucked up as they ignored even their own rules, basic science, and even some star trek science. Doesn't really matter though, it was still a fun movie.

Wow I'm nominating this for the GFY "Geekiest Thread Ever" award.

Having said that, my boyfriend says that Warp 10 is the theoretical highest warp you can go. He then went on to explain that Warp is not a speed in the traditional sense of the word, it's the warping of spacetime to get between one location and another quicker. And then I dozed off a little.

That's right - Warp was actually a way of bending space/time without pushing past light speed - which in theory would take you back in time, force you to confront space/time conflicts, etc...

Warp was actually a measured pop-in/pop-out point that allowed them to retain real space time as an envelope around the ship without losing hundreds or thousands of years in time back on earth or in "real time".

But it still makes sense with Trek 4 since they "used" real light-speed to go back without resorting to warp.

Still, Warp 8 was max in the old show. And they had a higher "cruising" warp speed after the Excelsior or after the next gen show or something... I'm a little fuzzy after or because of the whole weird Crusher/Riker fuzzibiliousness...

:D

borg transwarp was basically worm holes

so it was't faster per say

just got you from one point in space to another instantly.

I'm waiting for Currently Sober to say something about the poo....

In which historical dimension?

The recent movie has an entire alternate arc of history thanks to JJ Abrams.
So, there are a potentially infinite number of alternate 'realities' and therefore an infinite number of speeds reached.
In short, the possibilities are limitless ;)

It would land and be over with so fast that you wouldn't feel a thing.

/or something like that. :2 cents:

Found another site with some info

http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Warp_factor

Funny but i remember in one trek series there was even warp 14 mentioned which dont have sense if warp 10 is infinite speed.

Whats the miles per crystal for warp 10?
