Dauntless Engine Room
Does anyone have a screencap of the Slipstream engine in the Dauntless' Engine room? It would be a good addition here, I think. -Captain MAJ =/\=|**** 16:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree about the image capture. I have one, but its not the greatest quality since it is from a Shockwave flash source. See [1]. A real TV or DVD screen cap would be appreciated. I will upload when I can in the appropriate Dauntless section. I think there is a picture of Voyager's implementation, possibly in (VOY: "Timeless"). vorik111 12:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC) ---- Image added, enjoy! --vorik111 22:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Dauntless: Production vs. Test
Assumption is production quality technology due to the mention that Arturis was able to acquire ship without much difficulty, indicating relative abundance. Compare to acquiring helicopter technology in the real world. Highly expensive, but not improbable if your city is being destroyed.' vorik111 12:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Arturis didn't seem to have any problems with the ship, that is, if a prototype usually has bugs. This is a really hot technology, if the feds ever perfect it and are able to maintain the slipstream for a least a few hours at a time, then again a short time later, they would be able to explore galaxies with it, (provided it can get through the galactic barrier ok) How many light years an hour is 1.6 million times lightspeed, guess the answer would need to be written in scientific notation, I don't have a calculator that can do it, unless I divide a light year 1.6 million times I can find out how many light years it can travel in a year.
Also, wouldn't the Borg now have it, since they assimilated Arcturis's homeworld and species? Provided they had these ships there.
I wonder why they couldn't just have done what Harry Kim did say, a few more times, to get to earth (in the alternate future before he altered it, they did get back to Earth) the only reason they crashed was because they were unlucky enough to hit that ice planet, but why would that be dangerous, if when you emerge from slipstream you are traveling at sublight speeds, since space is mostly just space.
