From DS9 One Little Ship
And...
If they reduced all that mass, wouldn't simple geometry says that their top speed would multiply by the factor of mass they divided, which would add a dozen decimal places to their point nine recurring top warp speed... If their shields could withstand the strain.
Seriously in scientific method? Those aliens bolted to Voyagers hull didn't alter the warp geometry of the Ship? Or the Additional weight is they were dead weight, or the thrust they were exerting if... i mean if Archer can figure out he's towing freeloaders, it can't be that hard to figure out.
But matchbox Voyager could so Han Solo and piggy back on other star ships to save time on customs and excises, as well as fuel and...
thoughts?
Once you get past the fact that Seven suspiciously wasn't opening transwarp conduits to get Voyager home, and you realize that miniaturization is a 'vital" component of travelling through a transwarp conduit, and a half measure is usually easier than a full measure... Are there any missions/adventures that could have been solved faster and better by Voyager shrinking down to the size of a Christmas tree decoration?KIRA: So, how small are they?
NOG: The miniaturisation process won't begin until the runabout reaches the edge of the accretion disc.
KIRA: I see. And then they'll begin to shrink?
NOG: Yes, sir.
SISKO: Major, are you laughing at our investigation of this subspace anomaly?
KIRA: No, sir.
WORF: The data collected here could provide Starfleet with the key to creating transwarp corridors through space. It could give us a substantial tactical advantage over the Dominion.
KIRA: It's very important research. What? I'm not laughing. Just because we are shrinking three people to the size of coffee cups.
(And collapses in hysterical laughter.)
NOG: Smaller, actually.
WORF: I do not see what is so humorous about being small.
NOG: Neither do I.
