[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [qb]Note that the writers now seem to be using the TNG scale. Tucker's meal can't be found within 130 LY, which puts Earth at 130 LY or further, assuming there is a colony or a starbase serving that food. Given the aforementioned ten years' trip to Sol, this works out to at least 13c, whereas Wf 2.1, the most Tucker said they could do, is 12c on the TNG scale.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yes. I'm positive the writers have their copies of the TNGTM Warp Table out (with the words that these are only baseline values crossed out, like any self-respecting fan has them) and dutifully crunched the numbers. Actually, facetiousness aside, this is probably a good candidate of a case where they may have actually done this. But what I'm getting at is that I wouldn't take that as evidence for warp speeds canonically matching that table in every instance. Incidentally, Mandel's Star Charts show the events of "Shockwave" taking place 45 ly SSW of Sol. If we wanted to try to place early season two onto them, though, we'd run into problems. 130 ly from Sol in a Romulanward direction puts Enterprise near Iconia (which, uh, could be damn cool if that's who built the station.) Quasi-unfortunately, that's about 100 ly from Paraaga, (though the uberlane from Earth to Kronos could have been hopped for a good chunk of it, I guess) and if we're visiting Kreetassa next week, that's 110 lightyears straight back past Paraaga again. I suppose this was inevitable with the book, though it's a bit of bad luck nonetheless. [/QB][/QUOTE]
