[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: What this says is that Transwarp, in this context, means creating a stable wormhole effect. Cute theory.[/QUOTE]Very interesting. That actually makes a whole lot of sense -- especially because the "failure" of the transwarp project does not necessarily mean that the Excelsior never managed to make it to transwarp. Instead, the transwarp engine could have simply proved impractical, unstable over long uses, or overly expensive in terms of resources and fuel. Does anyone have a copy of Shane Johnson's "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise"? Not the most accurate reference for some ideas, but it's got a good description of what the refit Enterprise was probably built like. One of the things it says in the end was that the Enterprise-A was equipped with transwarp drive, which WAS successfully tested by the Excelsior and implemented into other starships. But that theory is basically ignored today -- personally, I think it's silly that they'd automatically switch naming conventions and start calling "transwarp" "warp." It would just be too confusing.
