[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nimrod: [QB] It's ok, but I've always been bothered by that thing The Turnip brought up. If two ships fly at warp 6, and one accelerates to 6.1, it would get a mindboggingly big lead. And if one would make a course correction they should just disappear, as they fly faster than the light reflecting them... Something Trek vfx often never does is display the REAL relations between ships, velocities and points in space. The "warp-traveling" torpedoes, for one thing. Even contemporary rockets fly faster than the Voyager's torpedoes. I'm thinking of "Thirty Days", when Paris tried to liberate the waterworld. Voyager fired a torpedo that, in relation to the surface of the sea, traveled at 70mph, give or take. I could send a golfball faster than that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
