[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [qb]Maybe the subspace drive coils? They're suppose to lower the mass of a starship at impulse, and in case of warp flight, hold onto a hand-off warp field from the stardrive section long enough to decelerate safely back to sublight and not have the stardrive go crashing into it.[/qb][/QUOTE]Wow . . . I've never seen so much confusion over a missing R before. Dude said "space-time drive coils" when he was referring to what, in the TM, is referred to as "space-time driver coils". And, as he indicated by the context, he was referring to the subspace thingies in the impulse drive. Now, back to the point, I doubt seriously that those would allow sustained warp to any significant degree. A torpedo's warp sustainer is a large piece of equipment, at least compared to the torpedo. Using the space-time driver coils for sustaining a warp field . . . or even trying to maintain control of the saucer while dropping out of warp . . . would be like trying to use a knat's fart to guide a battleship.
