lol, okies.I was trying to remember the explanation I read in a star trek mag from a year or two ago. Oh well, someday NASA will get the warp drive right, and we'll REALLY know how it's all done

hihi, yep its ficiton, so you can believe what you want this is just what i believe

time to start a warpcore religion

hm, as far as i know not the antimater core as it creates a warp field but the warp drive (the nacells and the stuff related to it).. a warpfield does create a rift in the physical space continuum, allowing the ship to travel faster then light.. it ceates some kind of "own physic engine" arround the ship, but it does not shift the ship in subspace (in one voyager episode they say that no material object can exist in subspace.. well the ciadan know better )

Yes , you are right Optec

The warpcore only produce the energy that ist need to build up the warpfield. Then the energy it transfered to the plasmainjectors in the nacells ( each injektor ist connected to a warpfieldcoil). The plasmainjector determine how much energy reach the warpfieldcoils. The warpfieldcoil do the actual drivework. They generate the warpfield that allows to drive fast as light ( it works how Optec has already wrote)

lol. well if you have the star trek manual they give a really good explanation. the ship does not really propel itself it actually rides a wave that is created in sub space, this warping of time, allows the ship to move by the position of the warp field aka bubble around the ship..the speed that is needed to enter the field is produced by the main drive or ion propulsion. lol amazing but imagine what its going to be like to actually move at that speed...of course lol stuctual integrity fields and such will have to exist to keep the bio matter humans from splattering if they change direction or stop...

These waves are also diferent in diferent places and an omega explosion gets rid of thses waves this explanes why shure you can go at warp 9 but beacuse of the waves to get warp 9 you may have to use teh energy for warp 9.5 or for warp nine you may need to use teh energy of warp 8.5 depneding on what these "waves" are like and as i said omega destroys these waves per say the waves canot be gnerated its realy sort of like wherre omega has exploded it creates a san bar in subspace i hope this makes some sence.

Perhaps a race can harness the omega particle, and create warp dampening arrays as a method of defense(Just a thought!) But yeah, like bear285 said, ion propulsion is pretty complicated. Basically, the warping that takes place is the warping of space in front and behind the ship. Though in reality this is theoretically impossible due to lack of available energy in the universe(excluding the potential energy source of zero-point energy), space in front of the ship is expanded, while space behind the ship is compressed. The real effect on space is far more complicated, but that's basically how it works. Imagine one of those long ballons: If you squeeze one end of the ballon, all of the air gets forced towards the opposite end of the balloon. I'm not sure, but possibly the warp factor is controlled by the amount of energy released to cause the warping of space. A small amount of energy would only effect the surrounding space a little bit, thus the ship would travel at about warp 1. Increasing the energy would create a larger impact on the space, resulting in warp 8 or 9. This seems to be how warp and ion propulsion works based on everything I've seen and read, but hey! It's all theoretical

true but ya gota remember the warp core is a bomb in a sence. where it uses antimatter that is bombarded through a controlled release of matter into the antimatter, causing the energy release from explosions of 1 matter/ 1 antimatter atom colideing. throuigh the use of the plasma injectors and transfer conduits that energy is transfered to the nacels that harness the energy to form the warp core bubble. oops im off toppic. a warp core is a bomb BUT and i mean BUT if it is ejected as from a warp core breach you get anywhere from 5 for 12 seconds to run for your life under SLOW impulse drive..... the use of a warp core bomb is a kamikasi act. 1 ship for another. not even the romulans would be that desperate to trade d class war bird for a galaxie class, or sov class ship. the jhem hadar would as there slaves ment to die for there masters.. basicaly just activate your warp engins and ram your openent for the same effect. you all die in a brilliant expanding gass of absolute destruction that will range out to 50 kilometers....
Or as worf says Maybe Today Is A Good Day To Die!!!!!!!!
just my 2 cents...

it's strange when ever i'm here the fourm seems to be slow to answer but when i go away for a week end there seems to be a page worth of posts on one topic

hehe, must be you
eeehhh, think this is a hot topic. somebody has scratched the "star trek technology" topic

posted on September 14th, 2003, 11:30 am

Hey, this warp core discussion was a bit interesting. But I got something else...
The Borg and Species 8472. They're like two peas in a pod! I mean, the Borg can't assimilate Species 8472, and Species 8472 can kick the Borg's metall asses. Fluidic Space and the Borg's inability to assimilate Species 8472 are definitely topics worth discussing and debating. *Shoots a gun in the air to begin the discussion*

lol

hmm, maybe someone should chande the topic title into "star trek technology" or something

what do u meanby that?...u said " (in one voyager episode they say that no material object can exist in subspace.. well the ciadan know better ) " so dose that mean they can suvive in subspace?

well, as you can read in the topic about the Ciadan their homeplanet (called kaseidron) has been shifted to subspace by a very unique anomaly caused by the collaps of its sun. this happened before the Ciadan evolved on kaseidron, so the Ciadan always lived with subspace radiation and subspace particles filling their atmosphere. The Ciadan can survive in subspace and most of their technologies base on subspace particles. for example they use a "subspace warp drive" which allows them to travel extrem fast and unseen, cause the existence of material objects in subspace disprove what the federation and most other races know about subspace.
(btw: ciadan can't survive in "normal space" for a long time, they have to take a special medicine to stop the subspace particles in their cellular structure from decomposing)

So in essence, the Ciadan are at a disadvantage...Lemme see if I have this all right. The Ciadan can send fleets into normal space to attack the other enemies, though because of their inability to endure normal space for long periods of time, would the ships' crews gradually decrease? I figure that since they can travel through subspace so quickly, having a crew that dies off slowly would balance out the advantages/disadvantages...otherwise, these Ciadan fellows would be badass and impossible to beat.
I'm startin' to like these Ciadan guys!
