Transwarp Theories
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 12:06 pm
I was reading Grahams article on transwarp theories and wanted to find out what you guys thought of my ideas.
Excelsior - An attempt to be able to enter warp speeds at any velocity rather than having to go through all the lower ones (I read this somewhere) as well as and attempt to increase the maximum speed of the ships.
Borg (Type 1) - Conduits generated and maintained by the Transwarp Hubs. As they use much larger and far more powerful systems, they can go faster than the Type 2 method. These can be entered by any ship capable of generating the correct access code. These cannot change course.
Borg (Type 2) - Conduits generated on the fly by a ship equipped with a transwarp coil (all borg vessels). They use more compact and less powerful systems than Type 1 but are faster than standard warp. These can be entered by the ship generating them, a ship equipped with a transwarp coil or any ship close enough to the generating ship on creation. These can change course and are controlled by the generating ship. These degrade over time.
Cochrane - An attempt to go at infinite velocity using a new form of dilithium.
Voth - Normal warp, just very fast.
By the way, If any mods feel that this is in the wrong section please move it but as they are spread over multiple trek series's I thought General Trek would be the best.
