[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shipbuilder: [QB] So what happens if you cut the impulse engines off after going to warp? I think that once the warp field collapses the vehicle would immediately be subject to normal space and would require the impulse engines to maintain any sort of momentum. I assume the warp field decay period would be fairly short and would result in the stretching effect that is shown onscreen. We know this decay occurs because of the comments about warp sustainers and saucer sections being able to use the phenomena. Anyway, I'd agree that the starship would move at whatever impulse speed it went into the warp jump with unless it cut the impulse engines off during warp flight. Immediately after coming out of warp, that ship would be stationary. If this isn't how it happens, some other unknown side effect of warp travel is a huge capability to conserve momentum at the moment of warp jump. [/QB][/QUOTE]
