Anyone else have a problem with the speed of the new Enterprise?

[Kemaiku]

Carol calls it "multi-warp capability". The warp factors have been changed in this timeline, the maximum warp of the Enterprise is 4.25, yet she's still far faster than say Voyager.

Vengeance having warp 12 capability, in this universe, would be well into transwarp speeds if not actually called that. Her wake was dragging the Enterprise along faster than she could travel alone, caught up in a greater vortex (the warp tunnel visably expands as Vengeance approaches).

So, either way, both ships are faster and possess something the Prime verse didn't have at all, or into the late 24th century nearer the time of the death of Romulus.

Enterprise is limited to warp 4 only after being attacked by Nero in the last movie. And I'm pretty sure Carol just says "He's been working on a ship with advanced warp capability."


Using the old warp factor cubed formula (which never held up to any kind of scrutiny, but nonetheless...) and some non-canon sources AND ignoring the "trans-warp network" graphic linked to above, 3x the Enterprise's top speed of warp 8 works out to be somewhere around warp 12, the top speed of the refitted classic movie Enterprise*. Vengeance's nacelles were of a similar shape to those on the classic movie Enterprise too. So perhaps the advance is actually that of the original series Enterprise to that of the classic movies.



*which works out to warp 9.2 on the TNG-era scale according to the Star Trek Encyclopedia.

She says multiwarp, I watched the scene a couple of times recently.

And I mean the 2009 film, when they first leave Starbase 1 and Chekov reports "maximum warp" the graphic on the screen says "Warp 4.25" at the top right hand corner.

 

[F. King Daniel]

You mean when Chekov does the mission broadcast? I just checked and can't see the viewscreen speedometer there. Are you sure you're not thinking of the scene later where Chekov expains the plan to hide behind Saturn?

Fucking Abrams! Doesn't he know the maximum warp of the Enterprise is Warp 8.623987214569089042! Why does he hate Star Trek?!?

I just watched the scene, even turned on subtitles to check. Daniel is correct, she says advanced.

"He's been developing a ship that has advanced warp capabilities..."

You mean when Chekov does the mission broadcast? I just checked and can't see the viewscreen speedometer there.

Same here. I don't see the speedometer at any point after they say they're at maximum warp and until they come out of warp in Vulcan.

When? It's never said.

"He's been working on a ship with advanced warp capability."



Ninja'd.

Then the audio on my copy must be pretty bad, as it sounds exactly like multi.

I'm looking at my iTunes copy:

The close-captioning says "advanced" but it sure does sound like she says "multiple".

Ditto, hence the coonfusion. Well either way it means it's a new drive system. Perhaps one not encountered or thought of in the Prime universe.

No, it's Warp 8.67-5309. It was established in the early 2380's by renowned engineering physicist Dr. Tommy Tutone.

You're thinking of the Jefferies Emergency Nacelle Nuclear Yield. That's something else.

For such a big-shot superstar scientist, though, I hear he's a cheap date.

Speed of plot in effect.
