[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Impulse and fusion are interchangable from Trek terminology. Davok, the explaination from the TNG TM, to my understanding, is backwards compatible all the way to Cochrane's Phoenix--- and even similar with alien technology. However, a magnetic constriction coil is a good idea, that would definately put the warp core out of commission unless they were able to rearrange the coils left [but I doubt this is possible with any margin of safety]. But then again, Trip should be capable of repairing that coil with parts from one of the backup fusion generators or even one of the impulse engines... they use magnetic constriction too. And as for the subspace physics thing, as I said in the last post, we've yet to see anything that suggests this won't work--- like I said there is no ship length / field coil count ratio. Obviously there is a reason why they have a certain amount of warp coils within a nacelle, but we just don't know why and if each one of them is absolutely necessary. I simply believe that every coil isn't and this episode could have proved that, if they had written it correctly. But despite the small amount of fudging in my description of the problem, that doesn't erase the fact that this episode is the worst concerning technology--- possibily beating out "Threshold" ... ok maybe not that episode, but it rates high!
