[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shakaar: [QB] This is related, yet a bit sidetracked. I made a revised warp scale- perhaps more like what was used in TNG - All Good things. Basically I did away with warp 10 being set at infinity- the idea being that advanced ships that are going faster and faster are always traveling at warp 9.something, and because of that, it became rather clunky to say: "Ensign, set course and engage, warp 9.95!" Thus I set warp 20 at infinity, and all numbers between warp 1-19 fall upon the same curve as the old TNG warp scale. This was only the numbers between warp 19 and 20 fall in that exponential curve toward infinity- and those speeds won't be attainable for some time. In another forum I got spat upon for this concept *L* Cause they were under the understanding that Warp 10 must always be "infinite speed/existing at all points" and I disagree- it is just that way because that's where the arbitrary number was placed- and in the future, when ships go warp 13- they are really not traversing infinity... as warp 10 is really now the old warp 9.5. Please look at this page and tell me what you think: http://www.craigdannenberg.com/bajor/warp.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
