[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]It's a cop out in some ways, but Warp Highways basically help explain all those time differentials we've heard so much about.[/QUOTE]In a way, they also help explain Voyager's frequent changing of routes and apparently inconsistent travel times. The obvious solution to get home would be to travel in a straight line directly from Ocampa to Earth. What's quicker than a straight line? However, if they could actually chart these "warp highways" by using the astrometrics sensors (which were treated as a major help when first unveiled in season four) then that would help them chart a path that was longer in distance but shorter in travel time. Other examples would include Q giving Janeway a slightly faster route home in the hated "Q2", and Starfleet sending Voyager some astrometrics/cartographical data in that data stream from season four. Yeah, the idea of inconsistent warp factors is a cop-out, but who cares? It's actually a kind of fun idea, IMO. [/QB][/QUOTE]
