[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'd have no problem with the ship brandishing phasers, but it seems absurd to think that *Malcolm Reed* would invent them. How could one lone man do anything of the sort, far away from the laboratories and factories required? I trust the shuttle launch info in the Bible is outdated by now - the eventual design with aft-facing doors does not really lend itself to an arm-launch sequence the way a dorsal or ventral set of doors would. People understand cranes that move things up or down, but they don't understand cranes that move things horizontally. Contrary to some comments, I think the two years in the AC-Arcturus run refers to one-way trip, not a round trip - meaning that warp 2 is about 18c by this interpretation. Either it's actually something like warp 2.6-2.7 (but still counting as warp 2 in starship crew parlance as long as warp 3 is not actually reached), or then the numbers don't follow the cubic formula quite as well as the Neptune remark. Still, we're in the ballpark. Vulcans have an acute sense of smell? Okay. It's not like Spock ever demonstrated that, though (the "Yes" in the elevator scene in ST5 does not count as "acute sense", I trust). Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
