[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] One FX shot that's alwats bothered me - the [i]Excelsior[/i] chasing the [i]Enterprise[/i] out of spacedock in ST3. When the Transwarp computer fails because of Scotty's sabotage, the ship visibly slows down to a near-standstil (realtive to Spacedock). But the ship obviously wasn't at warp; was it at Transwarp? If at impulse it'd have retained the motion, and I'm sure Scotty specifically says he removed components from the transwarp computer. . . [/qb][/QUOTE]It slowed down because Scotty had temporarily transferred his own huge mass to the Excelsior via pre-arranged transporter beaming. The Excelsior's impulse engines were suddenly overloaded and the ship stalled- it comes to a stop as Spacedock's automatic tractor beams held the disabled ship in position (installed after some engineer saw an aincent movie called "RTOJ" and decided that a collision could be embarassing). Later, (STV) Scotty cleary had regained all his Neutronium-level mass and the Excelsior is a speedy ship (as it should be without STIII's awful slapstick moment and engine-knock sound effects).
