[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] I much preferred the idea that the saucer was built on the surface, the nacelles were manufactured in some orbital facility, with microgravity casting for the warp coils to cool homogenously, and the secondary hull built in the orbital drydock. That is, all the antimatter-using systems are never on a planetary surface. And I know this isn't what's shown in this new movie. Doesn't mean I accept the new version. :p Incidentally, Jeffries/fandom have long held that the [i]Enterprise[/i] massed about 190,000 metric tonnes. And Kirk had Sulu head out of Earth-local space at "warp point-five", which is 0.5c. We have a pretty good timeline from leaving dock to that order, so someone who likes math more than I do can calcualte how proximal Earth and Jupiter were for [i]Enterprise[/i] to make it there in 1.8 hours. ;) --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
