I think what DARKSTAR is trying to say is that:

Warp 1 = 1x speed of light
Warp 2 = 10x speed of light
Warp 3 = 39x speed of light
Warp 4 = 110x speed of light
Warp 5 = 250x speed of light

And so on, and so on.

Wasn't a similar (or exact) warp chart published in the TNG-TM?

Probably. But what's the question?

Yes, except that he's got everything over warp 9 changed. According to the official chart:

W9.2 == 1649c
W9.6 == 1909c
W9.9 == 3053c

According to the best warp equation I've seen:

W9.1 == 1579c
W9.2 == 1649c
W9.3 == 1701c
W9.4 == 1759c
W9.5 == 1882c
W9.6 == 1909c
W9.7 == 2115c
W9.8 == 2365c
W9.9 == 3053c
W9.95 == 4195c
W9.975 == 5754c
W9.982 == 6557c

A bunch of his numbers for below Warp 9 are changed too...

Not to sound like a ninny, but shouldn't Voyager's warp table be the same as every other TNG and beyond ship's warp table? Unless there's been a recalibration and no-one's told me about it.

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

It should, unless a recalibration has taken place.
Does the warp factor consider that the interstellar medium contains gases and various particle?

Idealy Warp 2 would be 10 times the speed of light, but here in this area of sector 887799, with the last dying remains of the Candy Cane Nebula, it is closer to 9.987 times the speed of light.

I believe the equation I saw was W^(10/3), where W is the warp factor. 'Course, that ceases to apply after warp nine, due to the warp ten speed limit.

There is an equation that does speeds for all warp factors (the one TSN was discussing), but it is mindnumbingly complex. So mindnumbingly complex, in fact, that it must have taken a horde of supergeniuses to even begin to put the thing together. So mindnumbingly complex, that I have to input it piece by piece into a spreadsheet program to keep them straight.

Acording to a Warp-speed calculator I found on the Internet:

(rounded to a whole number)
Warp 9: 1516x c
9.1: 1582
9.2: 1650
9.3: 1712
9.4: 1777
9.5: 1842
9.6: 1910
9.7: 2289
9.8: 2670
9.9: 3053
9.92: 4313
9.95: 5749
9.975: 7098
9.99: 7912

After this it rockets up fast:

9.991: 27141
9.992: 46370
9.993: 65600
9.994: 84830
9.995: 104061
9.996: 123293
9.997: 142529
9.998: 161774
9.999: 181053

And finally:
9.9999: 199516

This last number is _very_ close to number given for the speed of subspace communication in the Encyclopedia.

Which is why I nominate "Threashhold" as the worst, most destructive episode ever produced. Because, if the the shuttle could travel Warp 10, it could also travel warp 9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999. They could just shuttle a truck load of people back and forth and everyone would be home in time for dinner without mutating into lizards.

It's 'Threshold'. (Or 'Trashhold' as I've seen some people call it.)

And they could have done the same thing in 'Timeless' with the Delta Flyer.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Or just go home at warp 10 and delizardify themselves like they did for Paris and Janeway.

Well except for the Doctor, and he can cure it. Only Voyager can't control where they'd end up at. At least I think that's what they said.

For anyone interested in the hopelessly complicated warp equation...

Imagine trying to differentiate that thing...

Yeah, this is going to make everyone have to scroll sideways to read the thread, I know. Shut up. *L*

Does this have an upper limit, or is this good for all of the WFs?

------------------
Well, it's done, yes, the deed is done.

Posted by Krenim (Member # 22) on :

This is good for all warp factors, even those past Warp 9. Although there is one aspect of the equation I was discussing with TSN last night, which I probably should start a different thread about.
