[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brian Whisenhunt: [QB] Maybe its' like the Neutral zone we see in the simulator in ST2. I believe it was shown as a sphere until they entered and then it became a tube. When we see the E approching a system, it could be that the viewscreen is being magnified to see the most important object coming up, not that that is neccessarily the end point of the system. Afterall, it would only take seconds to travel any clear space leading to the outward planet. I always thought it was funny that TNG had them going past ALL the planets on the way out.... how often does an alignment like that occur?! Of course the helmsman couldve been doing convoluted trajectories to get that affect like a fly buzzing around :D I would think that the boundary would have to be the edge of the solar wind and therefore spherical in nature. If you do a disc approach, what keeps a less than friendly fleet from parking a couple of AU's above your planet and well within the Outer perimeters? And if it is the edge, what about the fluctuations that are going to occur do to solar activity? Maybe everyone just has to have markers denoting territory. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
