Hi Guys I was just wondering just how dead the Defiant really was in Friday show. I though that T'Pol said that all major system where off line or something like that. Also what did Tucker do to jump start Defiant so fast, I thought it took 30 minutes to restart a cold engine. Thanks

Well - did they go to warp - I thought it was the Warp engines that needed 30 minutes to start up from cold. Maybe they improved this feature after the near disaster at Psi 2000?

Exactly, they hadn't gone to warp - so they whole thing i'm saying is - in The Naked Time - I thought the cold start was a cold start of the warp engines.

I'm willing to lay bets that they will ignore this 30-minute rule and immediately start kicking ass. I seriously doubt that they'll wait around to power up the engines while there are Tholians picking off the escape pods and lizards crawling around the lower decks.

Maybe, all they will do is to start impulse engines to start fighting while waiting for the warp engines to start up. Either that or Mirror Trip will figure out a way to start them up quicker.

Pre-refit Constitution Class Starships did not channel warp power to the phasers. So the Defiant can start fighting without the warp core being online.
But I suspect the writers will forget about the 30-minute cold start.

They already did for "Divergence," when Trip shut down the NX-01's engines completely and restarted them in what was more like 30 seconds.
