DS may I just say ROTFLMGDMFAO. I know you won't get why its funny but I bet everyone else will.Ah, I see what you're trying to do, now . . . that's why you lied. You had to make up some lies and bullshit about the clear scene of warp flight without warp stars in order to make it appear "disputed", and thus hope to weaken my position.

So, DumbShit, if the E-D is making that hairpin turn at warp, and the camera is at a stationary point, then why doesn't the saucer section fly away more rapidly from the engineering section than it seems to?
The saucer's observed speed seems to match that of a regular vessel traveling under impulse. If it was truely still traveling at warp, then it should have been darting away, barely seen.
just a little $0.02.

I usually do, though he'll probly start anouther thread on this topic elsewhere arguing the exact same point.

You shuold know his mo by now he runs silent for a few hours then arrives and unleashes his assault so finally "they will come... and soon".
Hmm 2 B5 references not bad.

That is contrary to the canon representation of warp speeds. Does it make scientific sense? No, but that is the canon fact, and it's no worse than FTL travel to begin with.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:The saucer's observed speed seems to match that of a regular vessel traveling under impulse.

Oooh, now there is an honorable debate tactic. Take part in the thread which you know is taking up all of DarkStar's time (because he said so, repeatedly), and declare victory in other threads that he can't attend to.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Hmm... Shall I accept this silence as an admition of defeat, DarkStar?

Your argument is:
warp stars = warp
no warp stars = no warp
That argument is a logical fallacy, and is disproven by counterexamples.

Did you all get that? Darkstars response is [translated from Dumbese]'It would prove me wrong so I ignore is by sayning that despite the fact this visual would be possible and make sense if neither object is at warp, they must still be at warp despite the fact the saucer should be long gone, a fact supported by vessels going at high warp vastly out running vessels going slower. It must be 'canon' that warp visuals will look like this because I can't be possibly be wrong so reality must alter to fit my theory not the other way around' [end translation]DarkStar wrote:That is contrary to the canon representation of warp speeds.

THAT IS NOT MY ARGUMENT!
I accept there can be warp without warp stars. However
If there's warp stars right before the ship parts turn, no warp stars when it turns, and warp stars when they're done turning WTF DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS?!

You cannot ignore it. It is there. It happens. Deal with it. You lose.
But thanks for playing this round of Let's See How Far DarkStar Will Go To Defend His Crackpot Pet Theories. You may now go to Hell.
The fact that the Saucer does not appear to be traveling at warp speed is, in my opinion, pretty good evidence that the Engineering section is not traveling at warp.
I'll make sure to slam the door on your ass on your way out.

GAT digging up this thread, why?
It wont do any good.
Unless you are willing to accept 2 Minutes of lost time during which the Primary Hull sticks very close to the Secondary before turning (there seems to be no reason for this) and they match speeds as they slow down (no exactly a great way to buy time for the Saucer to escape) then it comes down to opinion of Visual Vs Dialogue and logic.
If you accept warp without warp stars then every indication is that a warp turn occurs.

Didn't somebody mention that the opening credits of TNG are one of the only depictions of a ship traveling at warp from a stationary point of view? You know, when the E-D whooshes by the camera really fast between the title cards?
That is what the creators intended as what warp looks like from a stationary point, not DarkStar's interpretation that they were going at warp in that shot.

Wow. Okay, so what's the problem?Grand Admiral Thrawn wrote: I accept there can be warp without warp stars.
Well, wait . . . when do you think there can be warp without warp stars? Stationary observation points? If so, then I think that means we should be in agreement.However
If there's warp stars right before the ship parts turn, no warp stars when it turns, and warp stars when they're done turning WTF DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS?!
Again, you subscribe to Poe's logical fallacy, erroneous both on those grounds and on the counterexamples repeatedly provided:Spanky The Dolphin wrote: The fact that the Saucer does not appear to be traveling at warp speed is, in my opinion, pretty good evidence that the Engineering section is not traveling at warp.
Warp Stars = Warp
No Warp Stars = No Warp
Actually, I haven't even brought that up, given that the last time I used opening credits as a part of an argument (whether starships can go to warp within a system . . . see the last few seconds of Voyager's credits), I ended up in a thicket, with Warsies saying that nothing can be argued based on credits. I hoped to avoid similar Warsie shenanigans this time around.Didn't somebody mention that the opening credits of TNG are one of the only depictions of a ship traveling at warp from a stationary point of view?

Insofar as this thread is concerned, one obscure Tommy Paris

at warp speeds? "Maneuver" has itself yet to be defined for the purposes
of this thread, anyhow.
