[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] I don't know if this is relevant or not but, Z. Cochrane's original warp engines apparently functioned much differently than those "today". Either that or there was no inertial dampening (which I think they mentioned the Phoenix had). During the warp test flight, Cochran accellerated the Phoenix to "critical velocity". He was approaching light speed. He couldn't go to warp before this for some reason. The TNG:TM says, though, that full impulse is only, like .5 or .75 c or something. Not .99c. And yet, ships have gone to warp from less than full impulse. I guess one could argue that the IDF couldn't compensate for as much inertial displacement, so they had to get closer to light speed before making the jump. [/QB][/QUOTE]
