[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] This also calls into question again how old Starfleet really is. "First Flight" offered a minimum date but gave no real hint about how long the organization had been in service. My personal theory? That the big Warp Five Project� was supposed to develop an antimatter-powered warp drive. Earlier ships were all powered by fusion, and some could break the Warp Two Barrier� -- but the antimatter reactor offered greater potential over the long run. The only potential contradiction there would be the execrable "Friendship One" -- but my explanation there is that the probe itself wasn't actually powered by antimatter, it just had the scientific research that Earth had done up to that point. (I know; lots of people disagree with that, and TPTB aren't likely to use that explanation. I still think it's the best one possible...) At any rate, that would make the [i]Iceland[/i] a fusion-powered ship. But either way, I think that that ship type should have a max of Warp 2. (That was about as fast as the "Twilight" convoy was traveling, anyway...) [/QB][/QUOTE]
