Spoilers ST Strange New Worlds - Starships and Technology Season Three Discussion

[David cgc]

That wasn't the point. The point is the sudden acceleration without inertial dampeners should have turned them into mush.

But the whole trick of warp drive is that there isn't any acceleration.

Depends on how fast the acceleration was before the area around their vessel was moved into Warp Speeds, we're assuming that since they weren't turned into chunky salsa, the Acceleration/Transition couldn't have been more than 1.0-2.0 g's at worse given what we see on screen.

But the whole trick of warp drive is that there isn't any acceleration.

Exactly, the space around them moved, their vessel itself didn't move.

There might've been a weird jolt between transitioning, but it shouldn't have been that much.

3.22 × 10^26 Watts is what was needed to open that StarGate / Portal thingy that the Vezda Life Form used.

Each Phaser Beam was Ball Park close to ½ the Output of Earth's Sun.

2x 23rd Century StarFleet StarShip Phaser Beams in perfect Synchronicity can Generate that kind of power

Jeebus, the power creep introduced into SNW.

No, not at all. This kind of power output was heavily implied back in TOS. The following shows have similar and even more insane feats, but this is probably the first time the writers attached a proper value and correctly compared it to something else, in this case the Sun's luminosity. VOY for instance stupidly claimed four terawatts (4E12 W) is "as much energy every minute as a typical star puts out in a year," so it is nice the SNW writers did their homework.

In ENT, Tucker remarks it would take about 1,000 NX ships to match the firepower of the final Xindi weapon. That would make EACH one ~100 times (maybe more) as powerful as Pike's Enterprise!

But the whole trick of warp drive is that there isn't any acceleration.

Which also explains how the Phoenix quickly accelerates to 20,000 km/s with (most likely) no inertial dampeners either.

Absolutely. Except in universe, it always has been made clear that going to warp without inertial dampeners is a big no-no.
Look, usually I'm not hung up on stuff like this, I really don't care. It's made up tech. And usually, Star Trek being fluid with stuff also doesn't bug me. This one however.... meh. It just irked me.
