Maybe transwarp is short for Transphasic Warp

Transwarp13 · **Mon Oct 22, 2001 7:48 pm**

yah, thats what i thought..... but w/e! lol.

Dax Orien · **Mon Oct 22, 2001 7:51 pm**

Yeah everyone likes the shortcuts anyways. And acronyms we looove them.

Transwarp13 · **Mon Oct 22, 2001 8:03 pm**

uhm... ok, w/e!

Don't post twice for credit!

o, sorry, that was an accident i guess....

i agree

maybe not genius, but common, but, lol.

ever notice that everyone who watches ST is either smart or becomes smart?

that is so true

Thank you.. "i'm here till Thursday, try the veal"

I think a slipstream is a distortion in the temporal vortex...
creates a effective temporal vaccum in from of the vessel that draws the vessel forward...theoretically a slipstream should permit time travel .

You'll have to increase structural integrity by almost 40% of what the intrepid class has...you'll also need more powerful secondary impulse-warp engines for a smoother jump to slipstream.
It'll be nice to see your designs.

I believe you're right. In the Voyager episode when the ship was shattered into multiple time frames, borg seven stated that a borg vessel used some type of temporal emittors to keep the entire ship stable while it was in transwarp.

Slipstream travel would require more powerful secondary
impulse/warp engines for a smoother jump in slipstream.
You'll need hull integrity stronger that voyager's for sustained travel.
It would be better to add another deflector on the dorsal region.

The theory seems sound, it's the rest that confuses and boggles most. Mostly the fact that I don't see how any man-made material could withstand those speeds and at a consistant rate. It's not metabolically possible on the travelers either. I don't we could generate such a negating field. You see because that kind of field would basically have to keep our cells together because I believe going through slipstream is like soap sliding out of one's hand and to go that fast you slip through all forms of astral gravity. So you see, I don't really know how far our technology can get us. Any thoughts, fellow astral physicists?

What is better??...Slipstream or transwarp??
By the way...what really happened to Tom when he attempted transwarp in the shuttle craft??...why did his evolution suddenly accelerate??...
Does this mean that humans cannot attempt transwarp until they invent some type of evolution dampners??..

Maybe...if the journey is for about a week or more...the crew could be put in suspended animation....where smaller, more dilute negating fields could be set up around them without affecting the ship's relay systems....the animation units would have to be sufficiently far apart...so that the individual fields don't interfere constructively...
As for the material engineering....I guess what starfleet could do is build smaller ships..mould an entire hull structure from a single monomer with no separate parts....that could help integrity.

Anyone with ideas????
