[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] On the topic of stellar cartography and the location of the Romulan minefield -- isn't it possible that the Romulans are a bit more widespread in the pre-Neutral Zone era? That would actually make sense if the Federation were trying to put a damper on Romulan expansion. You guys forgot to mention the fancy doodad chip that could translate neural impulses into binary code! The Borg, anyone? :( The biggest problem I had is the fact that this repair station is almost certainly within the future Federation's sphere of influence. Meaning that if they managed to get a good look at the thing, they could probably put Utopia Planitia out of business! The fact that the station starts to repair itself at the end just compounds the problem rather than solve it -- if it was left as a pile of rubble, I could understand the Federation not getting the technology... Still, I did appreciate most of the Treknological details. I'm going to use the opposite argument of the warp scale formula -- what if the "130 LY" comment was an error (or a figure that wasn't recalculated)? We know that the NX-01 is around 90 to 100 LY from Earth at this point according to "Two Days and Two Nights" -- assuming the TOS warp scale, it would take 10 years to travel 92.61 LY at Warp 2.1. Alternatively, to go the additional 40 LY to reach the 130 LY mark would take 160 days at the established speed of Warp 4.5. I think that that the writers are still using the TOS scale with only a few errors interspersed in the dialogue. But then, I'm an optimist. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
