[QUOTE]Originally posted by Captain Stark: [QB] The Klingon ships that the Romulans were using had Klingon warp drives. I am currious if they were using standard Klingon Matter/Anti-Matter powersources or if they were converted over to Romulan Quantum Singularity powersources. IMHO I find it very difficult to believe that the Romulans without warp drive capability could have fought a war with a warp drive capable forces of Earth. The Neutral Zone is a HUGE expanse to cross over with no warp drive at all. It would have been too easy to out manuver the Earth Fleet durring the war with superiour speeds. I believe the Federation outposts would have detected the BoP in Balance of Terror before it reached the other side. They couldn't have kept the cloaking device up the years it took to cross over with no warp drive (the Romulans kept talking about fuel consumption when the cloak was turned on). My theory. Earth (and eventually the Federation) were completly unaware of the quantum singularity power sources used by the Romulans until after the events in Balance of Terror. Thus the line Scotty drops about no warp power in BoT could be because they couldn't detect a standard M/AM powercore. If you look closely at the Romulan BoP it has nacels that could be used for Warp Drive. I wonder if some of these items would be cleared up in Series V which is seriously looking to be the Birth of the Federation idea. [/QB][/QUOTE]
