Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
LOL in TOS they hit warp 45 or something like that in at least 1 episode and warp 100+ in another heh

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
That's because they had a linear warp system. Slingshoting aroudn the sun has something to do with timetravel, gravity wells, and FTL travel.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
The point here is not to chat about the crazy stuff.
Its to distill the reasonable bits.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I propose that all timetravel is out, and that the Q remain to themselves.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
200 crew for what size ship? Constitution or Galaxy?
I agree, no "expendable" crew.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
The Enterprise doesn't have gravity plating. Rather, it has gravity generators, which create a downward pull from gravity. A galaxy class starship has over 1,000 crewmembers, and capability for more.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
Constitution. That's only a rough figure; this isn't just my project. The final number will be whatever we think is reasonable for a functioning starship.
Also, it should still remain Star Trek. 
Artificial gravity? Hmm...I don't see so much of a problem. After all, the've got pretty fast FTL. Sure, it'd be hideus for us...But them? Not so sure.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
They also have structural integerty fields, running along specialized conduits in the bulkheads. Those probally direct the gravity as well.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I agree, no big changes to the ST universe. Just drop some of the inconsistancies between the different series.
200 sounds about right for a constitution class.
I believe the manual I have states that gravity would fluctuate slightly from the center of the generator to the edges. I forget how big they are, but I think they are about half the width of the coridors. I'll try to find the book tonight and bring it to work tommorrow.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I have the technical manual for the Enterprise-D. So all your questions about that ship, I can answer. I've also seen every TNG episode ever made, all the movies, most of the Enterprise episodes, and quite a few Voyager episodes...
