For the first few weeks of enterprise I had automatically assumed it was engineering but I was wrong. I found this: <img src="http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/akiraprise/nx01_specs.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br />and this<br /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/akiraprise/nx01-starboard.gif" alt="" /> and that confirmed that it was not engineering, so is it true? Does a warp core need a symmetrical warp field governor, I haven’t heard of one until now.<br /> <br /> <small>[ April 01, 2002, 12:25: Message edited by: koy'peled Oy'tio ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Siegfried</b> <br /><small>Member # 29</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,1,12,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 01, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:36 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> We haven't really heard of any other starships requiring 3 phases of plasma accelerators, either. I'd say these components were either replaced with new technology as warp engineering progressed or simply integrated with the warp propulsion system a little better. I imagine that the symmetrical warp field generator has a similar function or at least relation to the TNG:TM's mention of off-axis field controllers. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The_Tom</b> <br /><small>Member # 38</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,1,14,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 01, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:09 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I believe Drexler's intention was the suggest that Earth Warp Drive broke through to Warp 5 levels only by a whole smattering of extra tech gadgets (warp plasma "turbochargers" to increase power and a governor to then keep the ship stable at high speeds) which more gradual advancements to the actual core technology rendered no longer neccessary in the years to come. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Matrix</b> <br /><small>Member # 376</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,1,16,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 01, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:14 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> That makes sense, seeing that only 30 years ago it required a whole shit load of equipment to enhance a car engine to bring if over 400-500 hp while now I have seen standard engines going beyond that. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Topher</b> <br /><small>Member # 71</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,1,17,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 01, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:53 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well, not exactly standard engines.
