Slip Stream and Voyager?

[The Dude 0]

Greetings,

 

1st of all a quote:

 

And also, the quantum warp theory is all fictional, to me it would be a next step in travel, going from warp 9 to slip stream or trans warp 20 seems a little to big of a step, i think it would need to develop in steps, and quantum theory is just my version of that proposed step.

 

2nd of all another link of the www.startrek.com page:

 

http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/libr...tail/68882.html

"Following a series of holodeck simulations to reach Warp 10,"....

The Air Date of that episode was 01.29.1996

 

So to sum it up in the Star Trek Voyager Series the idea of Slip Stream-Technology was actually realized, right?

 

Now my question is,.. am I right? Is this really Slip Stream if you're travelling faster than Warp 9?

And when did the Series Andromeda start? Did they copy from Voyager or the other way around?

Or is the Slip Stream Technology from the series Andromeda not compareable at all to the 'slip stream' in this particular episode of Voyager?

It seems to me that the writers used "transwarp" and "slipstream" interchangibly, and not really saying how fast either one was.

 

Then there's the whole Warp 10 being "absolute speed" even though the Enterprise-D went to Warp 15 in All Good Things.

Remember though that the TOS and TNG warp scale was completly diferent. Their warp 9 was like warp 3 today. Also, I dont see warp ten as a purpulsion system. To have infinite speed, you have to be every where in the the universe, at all times.

 

http://www.startrek.nl/sbs.php?i=1103 is a good site for warp scales, it also tells you what the average speed is to the moon, for 20 lighyears, and to the nearest galaxy.

 

And to Vanroy, the site also has every rule of aqusion said in star trek, a good site for some new quotes.

Hey there,

 

A few different issues here....

 

First, it's been established that at numerous points throughout history within the Trek universe, the warp propulsion scales have been updated. Case and point, the pre-refit 1701 went to Warp 12 or 13 a few times. This simply doesn't match what was presented in TNG and then VOY.

 

Given material presented within All Good Things..., I would assume a method of moving faster than Warp 9.99 (using today's scale) exists. A possibility might be a different, I don't know, frequency or type of warp field. For example, current fields use 03 cycles per second. Under that concept, Warp 10 turns you into a lizard. However, under 0694 cycles per second, you maintain speed and move faster.

 

Second, as to slipstream, I think they are totally different. From what I've seen on Voyager, what they classify as a "slipstream drive" deals with something similiar to what I just mentioned. A warp type propulsion system, just one operating on a different frequency. This is in contrast to Andromeda, where their propulsion system seems to be based on a "subspace network" they travel to get from point A to point B. Easy example is their need to find a "slipstream portal," or an entry into the network. Similiar to a subway system vs a car. Both move...but one has to follow track while the other doesn't.

I agree, as seen when voyager entered "slipstream mode" the ship never entered warp, therefore i believe quantum slipstream concept is actually as fred described as a system or network of um....tracks, and um...the drive operates the method of entry to it.
