[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] Consider the episode of DS9 with the changeling and the supernova-inducing bomb, and Kira's reluctance to go to warp so close to the Bajoran primary. (And in this case, it was really, really close, which makes sense if its a sliding scale of difficulty.) [/qb][/QUOTE]Just as easily, you can consider the yr 5 NextGen opener that had klingon ships practically falling into the sun before engaging warp drive. Complete opposite of what you're citing. I kinda think Ron Moore snagged this bit from a Diane Duane Trek novel, but in that novel there WAS an acknowledgement of science, where going to warp so close would make the star go nova, instead of just blowing solar fart gas on pursuers, which I think is what happened on TNG. And on TOS you have Enterprise warping TOWARD the sun in TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY and the teaser of OPERATION ANNIHILATE. And Scotty offering to have the ship warping out of orbit within a second of getting an order to do so in NAKED TIME ... the number of warp us out of orbit shows is probably in the dozens.
