STXII 2012 script is coming to gather.

like hotter dilithium that lets u go to warp 10....

NOT hotter, more stable. which makes since because the other stuff fractured at higher warp frequencys. the new stuff didn't. don't take stuff outta context

I don't see how a new form of Dilithium that remains stable at higher speeds would allow you to go faster than with regular stuff, though; it may survive longer but wouldn't increase the abilities of the engine itself.

That would imply Starfleet engines could already achieve ludicrous speed, with Dilitihium being all that kept them back.

EDIT: Oh god, we're talking about Threshold!

No cuz it flew apart anyway, they had to make (belana Maquis) mods to get it to work.
then pairs still evolved and grounded the project.

i gotta go. i pick  this up later

It broke up because the ship kept being torn from the nacelles; the 2 parts of the ship travelled at different speeds. The engines weren't the problem, the hull was.

I guess people here haven't heard of charm, colour, up, down etc

he hasnt heard of it, explain it to him 

Science doesn't have to have 15 syllables arranged haphazardly to describe something complex 

DNA is a mouthful. some hormones can be pretty nasty, to pronounce that is

lol i was taking the piss out of it. magic new dilithium that "remains stable at higher warp freqs" and allows them to go infinitely fast.....

ninjad, yes we're talking about threshold.

that was in the holodeck, they fixed it with duct tape.

they said that the hull would "depolarise" at the speed required, ripping the fuselage from the nacelles cos the fuselage was travelling faster than the nacelles, despite the nacelles being the bit that do the engine-y things while the fuselage warp core generates the power. but anyway, the problem is that the metal depolarises, and so paris has the brilliant idea of installing a "depolarisation field" around the fuselage, which from the way it sounds, would be a field that causes/aids depolarisation, which was the problem... hair of the dog doesnt work on humans, let alone infinite improbability drives super duper (i dont wanna say transwarp lol) warp drives.

all they did was add a device that a criminal pilot idiot could devise while in a mess hall, which fixed the problem pretty quick, sounds like starfleet ships (not even starships, shuttles, which normally coudn't get close to starship speeds) could already go infinitely fast if they just had some magic crystals :whistles:

That was one of the sillier episodes of Voyager (which is saying a lot), as warp10 is basicly something warp drive cant surpass (as warp 10 is basicly the speed of light in subspace, to go faster you have to find something else )

Pretty much. Execpt since it's Kirk (cause JJ is too lazy to make new characthers) you have a half dressed Orion going 'messa luv u' (and supernovas traveling at high warp speeds)

Charm, colour, strangeness and other such awesomely funny terms (like 'barn' - units of length squared) are particle physics terms (i.e. quarks)

'Red Matter' actually fits the Star Trek standard, oddly enough. When the standard method of getting scientific terms is 'pick 2 unrelated words that sound cool and combine them', colors were bound to be added to the mix sooner or later.

We need a thread for listing the technobabble from Voyager and what it would really mean...

i got you, i just wanted an excuse to make a (poor) sexist joke about hormones.

i prefer funny short words, to technically nice, but long words.

posts can only hold 20000 characters i believe, list would need multiple pages of posts. and would probably count as spam.

Does everything always have to come to argument over stuff like this? Are human beings incapable of communicating without verbal broadsiding? And if you actually watch Star Trek XI, you notice that it has far less weapons fire than Nemesis or even Insurrection. Also there is an explanation of what Red Matter is, it is just not in the movie. It is an incredibley dense material that can collapse on itself to create a gravity well.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Yeah, partially anyways. But there are times that I see stuff like this on many places and it almost always devolves into petty bickering.

Pretty much everything gets debated, since forums get many people of differing views. Usually, they end on an 'agree to disagree' basis if they get serious enough.

Well, they do here at least...

True, very true. It is just a bit sad thought that so much conflict can come from something that I think was Gene Roddenberry's hope for a better future for everyone.
