How far is Voyager from the Federation now? I seems to me that they jump at least 300 light years every other episode. In last week's episode, did they not jump another 300 light years? I think the ship is getting pretty close to home now.

As of "Dragon's Teeth," Voyager had 23074.58408 light-years left to go.

Oh, and another thing, Saboc. . . try looking back through old threads, in the archive and so forth. This question has been asked so many times, most of the threads in this Forum are about that!

What about a forum FAQ or maybe even a large LCD-like display saying: "Voyager is .... light years away" or "The Defiant is currently .... meters long"?

I'd love it if I had the knowledge to make a countdown device, but I don't.

In news today, the Federation has adopted the Defiant-class vessel as the standard unit of measurement. A spokesbeing for the Federation Bureau of Weights and Measures commented, "God help us if anyone tries to figure out a precise length for an isodefiant."

Oh yes, thanks for reminding me...didn't I mention that the Defiant is actually 422.3 isometers long? Of course, the number of isometers within a meter varies with subspace density, warp plasma distribution, and the number of field layers within the inner coils.

You wanna know how far Voyager is from the Federation? Well, that depends on how large you think the Federation is (10000 ly? 8000 ly? 100 ly? There has been a great confusion on this!). However, according to my revised calculations, which are now based on an Excel spreadsheet (great program! if you know how to use it ...) they still have 28300 ly to go to Earth (in Dragon's Teeth they travelled 200ly? Well, then 28100 ly, but that's pretty much the same). This pretty much fits with Rick Sternbachs statements in newsgroups and via e-mail. I got 1450 ly (1250 ly now) to the Delta-Beta border, he says 1500 ly (before Dragon's Teeth). Furthermore, he once said in Beta Voyager would still have to go 29500 ly. That's too much, if you place Earth at the right place (24000 ly from galactic core, according to NASA) and assume that Voyager *is* still in the Delta quadrant. I will soon post the spreadsheet along with updated maps to the Star Trek cartography of my Star Trek Dimension, so stay tuned.

Alternatively, we could just ignore you until you learn to stop spamming your pathetic little website with every other sentence. . .

So after using the slingshot in "The Voyager Conspiracy" what's Voyager's position? How many lightyears to Earth?

Well, I see the episode tonight, but from what I hear, its quite confusing. They apparantly gain another 30 sectors, but that's also described as 3 years closer to home. So, its either 600 ly or just under 3000. I'll wait until I actually see the episode to pass judgment, although I will probably go with the 600 ly.

Krenim any luck on those figures on Voyager's location?
In "Pathfinder" I believe Barclay said that Voyager was 60,000 away?! I'd have to rewatch the episode.
