/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I thought there was an episode where they found out Warp Travel was doing damage to space in some areas, so they instituted a speed limit (unless it’s an emergency) to mitigate the impact.
There was, and then they had a couple technical changes to address it a bit, like Voyager's variable geometry nacelles, and then they handwaved it away with generic "advancements". I mean we see the Protostar drive and even Quantum Slipstream being used by a Federation Dauntless in Prodigy. And that takes place only like 5 years after Voyager makes it home.
Correct, there was.
Yes, but also maximum warp isn't the fastest sustainable cruise speed. We have many instances of a ship getting pushed to its limits and having to slow down after some time. The Enterprise-D is stated to be capable of warp 9.6 for up to twelve hours.
Isn't that the one we learn Wesley can warp travel with his mind?
