Anyone remember the original pilot for ST? Captain Pike (with Constitution Enterprise) had a crew of 150 or something like that although granted he lost a third of his crew somehow but still anyone remember that?

Although some people say it was not in fact the Constitution class enterprise but instead just a very similar hull configuration, like the "DReadnought" which was basically just an oversized constitution with three engines.

I have it on DVD. (Of course he would) They were attacked by some race on some planet and suffored a lot of casualities.

I saw the original B&W version when I was a kid. I thought to myself... they made this in the 60's, what visionaries.

They lost that visionary aspect of the show when they turned to treknobable.

I'd go for exhausts myself, there seems no reason for Tachyons other than they're a sci-fi standard. Everyone uses them when they need a clever particle.

Exhausts at least give you clever options and more to work with story wise, whereas if you start being consistent with tachyons cloaks are either easy to penetrate or very very hard to.

Warp 9.9 is quite a bit faster than 9.8. I have never been able to find an exact formula, but I haven't tried since 8th grade or so. Here's the approximate breakdown of the interger warp speeds:
Warp 1 - 1 times the speed of light
2 - 10
3 - 39
4 - 102
5 - 214
6 - 392
7 - 656
8 - 1024
9 - 1516
They used an Excel spreadsheet to calculate them.
