[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Is Mars merely depicted as lifeless, or declared lifeless? Even if there has been a colony on the planet for half a century, this doesn't mean that there would be anything truly worthwhile there. Most of the planet could be wasteland, and remain so even in the TNG era. The dockyards in orbit in the TNG era might be there mainly because they were shooed away from all other insystem locations, not because there'd be something useful for them on or under Martian surface. The flying mining station might not be a "lunar" one per se, but just spending the "winter months" or maintenance downtime there. Its normal assignment might indeed be to hop from asteroid to asteroid, in which case warp drive makes eminent sense. Except if warp drive isn't normally used within the Sol system... Any taboo on insystem warping at this point sounds really weird, given how many obvious insystem vessels are obviously warp-capable in this and other episodes. Is the dialogue on this "fatally explicit" or merely "suggestive of a YATI but creatively interpretable"? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
