[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] What happened to the subspace highway theory? The TNG TM warp scale specifically states that the values are approximate for average conditions. If you're in a really good area for subspace travel, Warp 2 might actually be 15c instead of 10c [Warp 2 being the point at which in an average area you are outputing energy which gets you to the speed of 10c, but at this point in space that energy level gets 15c]. In other areas, Warp 2 might be 5c--- meaning just the opposite of the above the standard power output gets you 5c instead of 10c. At the same time, what about wormholes? Isn't the Federation big enough to have some wormholes in it, if not like the Bajoran Wormhole, then temporary ones that allow some ships to cross great distances. There are other phenomena as well... but the way I see it, there isn't much to bend in this area. What drives me crazy is Voyager's path home. The Bajoran Wormhole was MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH closer, maybe only 1/3 the distance they traveled in the entire series [let's not talk about the distance to destination]. Plain stupidity. After that, what happened to the Cytherians? The Federation has/had diplomatic relations with them before... why did Voyager ignore them completely and plot a course straight for Earth? No wonder I had such a big problem with Voyager, the entire plot of the show was wrong. They brought their prediciment upon themselves. They would have spent 15, maybe only 10 years traveling to the Bajoran Wormhole [and for those that are worried about the Dominion, Voyager would not have been within that area until after the war ended]. Later, J [/QB][/QUOTE]
