[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] I don't even like the theory I formerly stated--- it's not a flavorful as I'd like it to be. Mine: Romulans create a warp drive with fusion power [WDF], sometime after Earth does [to explain the lower tech (similar technology should develop on similar time tables for the two powers according to most ST rules)]. They use this WDF for many years, especially between 2150-2260's. By the Romulan-Klingon alliance, the Romulans know about M/AR, but don't develop that technology because they want the artifical quantum singularity tech. By 2340's ["Yesterday's Enterprise"] the Romulans have developed this technology [possibly earlier]. _______ Another point, there is no evidence to say the Romulans didn't or did have M/AR. I view them as having it, but not really caring. IMO, the Romulans got M/AR from the Klingons [along with the ship design]. This advanced the Romulans ahead some what [I feel they didn't apply the technology to their entire fleet--- thus a moot advance], but the Romulans still focused on ZPE tech. It might be that the Tomed Incident was the Romulans testing their newly developed ZPE tech on the Feds. It seems strange but I like to think of the Romulans in this kinda contridicted terms. The Romulans develop WDF after Earth does. They don't pursue M/AR, which is what Earth has, but ZPE which is better than what Earth has. They get M/AR from the Klingons, but don't care to use it to it's full advantage, they continue to pursue ZPE with all possible zeal. It makes sense to me <G> [/QB][/QUOTE]
