Re: What if............
The only possible way to explain it is that what we call a light year and what they call a light year are two different things. Maybe they count a year as Vulcan year, or something else. Pretty far fetched but it would help explain the stupidity.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Except I believe it was a human who stated that distance.

Re: What if............
Yeah but there is no reason why a human couldnt use Vulcan measurements.

Re: What if............
IIRC, no one mentioned distances at all - they simply stated the the NX-01 could make the trip in four days. Assuming that this means at Warp 5, 125c, this puts Qu'onos about 1 1/3 ly from Earth. 
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Re: What if............
Wait, so I was being overly generous with four fucking light years?

Re: What if............
Yes there is. The speed of the NX-01 is defined in terms of how long it will take to get to Neptune - "Neptune and back in six minutes!" The distance to Kronos is then given as four days.Teaos wrote:Yeah but there is no reason why a human couldnt use Vulcan measurements.
Vulcan units don't apply.

Ah, so the Trans-plot drive simply bypasses plot altogether. That would be much faster.

T'Pol: "Captain, you do realize that at that speed it will take us well past the alotted span of our natural lives to arrive, do you not?"
Archer: "Have some faith, T'Pol." :::touches comm switch on chair::: "Trip, is the new plot drive ready to go?"
Tripp: "Just give us the word, Captain!"
Archer: "See? We'll be there by the time the commercial break is over."

The ships dont get faster, they just chnage the position on the stars and planets.
