Yesterday I decide watch another TOS episode, I like “Let THat Be Your Last Battlefield”.
Something I notice people forget about old Star Trek is how the enterprise was capable of terraforming entire planets or even decontainment it in just a seconds in the episode.
This is also funny to me because Spore game did the playeable spaceship into capable of creating life or destroying it at player’s will.
I have the feeling Star Trek writers just forget about this.
What you think about this enterprise feature?
Is plausible to go faster of warp 10, but not reaching warp 11, so is nothing wrong to me.
Warp 13, engage! 😆
Don’t forget the hyper-evolved aliens that gave Geordi his groove back. They were going in excess of warp 10/11 as well.
Well they have that extra Nacel, so you know its faster.
Maybe I’m misremembering but wasn’t it Crusher on the Pasteur ordering warp 13?
I don’t remeber its probably been 20 years since I watched TNG.
The semi-established canon in second wave Trek was that 10 could not be reached. Semi-established because there were higher numbers in TOS iirc. So Tom Paris went too far, in more than one way.
TOS used a completely different warp scale with no upper maximum, hence the higher numbers in use.
When they made TNG they redesigned the scale to be exponential, with warp 10 being the upper limit because at that point the object has infinite velocity and exists everywhere simultaneously.
