9.975 Might have been the "Top Speed" listed on the Ship Specs.
But they also stated that 9.75 was sustainable for 12 hours, so they probably couldn't sustain 9.975 for that long of a period.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Alternative theory: After Cochrane's invention of warp drive technology developed extremely quickly, so that only 4 years later, they already could build a probe capable of reaching speeds around warp 5 on the TOS scale (that's what would be needed) to travel about 30.000 light years in 200 years non-stop, without refueling or requiring maintenance (VOY: Friendship 1).
By the 2150's technology had progressed to the point that Q'onos could be reached in 4 days (at warp 4.5).
Then, all this fantastic warp technology regressed somehow, leading to the much slower TOS and TNG speeds, though the generations in these eras were too proud to admit it. So, they probably inflated the warp scales to hide that, making Vulcan -much closer to Earth than Q'onos- 4 days travel away at TOS high cruise speeds (probably around warp 6 or 7?).
In "Caretaker" Voyager is stated to have a "sustainable cruise velocity of warp factor 9.975", not a maximum cruise velocity.
In other words, Stadi (I believe it was she who said it) naively believed the salesman pitch.
Warranty was voided once they left the Alpha Quadrant.

Included unlimited shuttles, though.Apparently along with sustainable storyline interest.
And photon torpedoes.
And yet ... they're somehow also forced to eat whatever "root" based food that Neelix cooks because food replicator use is limited.
All the replicator power must have been needed to fabricate shuttles and torpedo casings.
And Janeway's coffee.

Decaf was banned after the Third World War. Not like she had many options.
Didn't they show that being used during the Klingon war in SNW?
Pretty much exactly what was shown, including a rather poignant scene where they had to delete someones pattern.
Thanks. I wanted to make sure I hadn't imagined it. 
Yup, but they didn't think about doing that in the 24th century when ever Voyager was over loaded with patients.
That should be the SOP (Standard Operating Practice) in any modern UFP Medical Facility.
Most likely the Writers didn't think of it IRL, but in-Universe, it sucks that patients died because they weren't frozen in the Transporter Buffer.
That can literally freeze all patients "Golden Hour" and allow Medical Resources enough time to properly treat all patients coming in.
You won't run into a case of "The Doctor" having to make a hard decision of who to triage.
He can take his time and either run multiple instances of his program to treat as many people as Server Capacity allows multiple copies of himself to run, or up to whatever medical resource limit is currently available.

Budgets were really small back then, eh?
Couldn't hire enough different extras?
