[Wolfman77]

OK, I can see noone liked my ideas on cloaking devices, so I'll say no more about that part of it for now. How about we just enjoy the TB for what it is concerning them, and use exhaust and tachyons, depending on the situation, and not disect it too much.

The engines seem to make sense when described in terms of efficiency, but if they use a low intensity warp field for impulse, why do they have to worry about time dialation. I thought warp fields were supposed to fix that problem. Do they need a field strenght high enough to reach warp 1 before it effects time, or am I missing someting else?
