You think the TAS Copernicus-type is capable of warp?

[Sandman85]

It's said to be a long-range type and seems to have both warp modules and a deflector dish. I'm guessing warp 1 if so.

If only warp 2, might as well not have warp at all. Warp 1 = speed of light.

If we go by classic fandom that warp factor = speed of light cubed, then warp 2 = 8x light speed.

At least warp 2. Likely more if it really makes sense to send a shuttle a long way.

For that matter, "Encounter at Farpoint" makes no sense unless the saucer section is capable of independent low-warp travel. It would have taken years, even at relativistic sublight speeds, to reach Farpoint Station from the point where the stardrive section dropped it and turned to face Q.

The FASA book 'Star Trek the Next Generation Officers Manual' holds that the Primary hull of the Enterprise-D had a FWH-1b warp drive capable of standard warp factor five, and an emergency standard warp factor seven...

As opposed to multi warp factor six up to ten...

I'd say they went a bit overboard on the capabilities, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw, and attempted to patch, that plot hole.

there was some reference somewhere about torpedoes launched at warp would stay at warp maybe the saucer was the same

Or to get to a starbase in "Arsenal of Freedom".

I'd forgotten that little detail.

Ever notice that we didn't see Logan again?

And where is the Starship USS Lollipop when you need it?

Which is why, when looking at both sets of blueprints of the Galaxy class, I realized that the computer cores had to have the capability to act as warp drives themselves.

Keep in mind that FTL computing is a thing...

 

[Ronald Held]

FTL computing is not a propulsion method. Might just be a static warp shell?

 

[knightgrace]

Not quite.

Under 'normal' conditions a warp field is generated around each computer core.

Then you have Impulse power with its low level effects of space-time management.

Then you have a computer core itself. Until recently I have not paid attention to just how much power a Data Center can take. I mean just outside of the City of St. Louis a major building project is under way, when completed three (?) Nuclear reactors will provide 1.2x10^9 watts of power. This means that the computer cores of a Galaxy class Starship, which are supposed to be 100 feet tall, and sixty feet in diameter are major power users. Which further implies that better designed circuitry is in place. (Less power, required)

Such that a matter/antimatter reaction would be required to power just one computer core.

My thinking on this would require two reactors, with each able, for a short time able to both primary hull cores.

With the primary hull Impulse engines, plus the above...
