We have moved to new forum software and posting here is closed!
PLEASE BOOKMARK THE NEW FORUMS
Thinks for clearing all that up master, but do you have info on, or considered the following points, (or has anyone?)
The warp scale they will use, the one from TOS or the one from TNG and the later series. In TNG it is A ten point scale. Or a new one, how about that? 
The other point is, will they use lasers or phasers. Lasers were used in the first eposide of TOS (The Cage)set in 2254, if any one can remeber. In Where no Man has Gone Before 2265, phasers were used, this beening eposide 2. Note there is a time difference between the two eposides of over ten years. 
Of course anyone can reply. 
Please feel free to discuss the ships that are in this series here. (including enterprise of course).
I just found out Universal Translators, will be in the show as new technology, and they won't work all the time. 
I was also wondering will the ship have shields(Energy field use to protect the starships)?

I've never understood warp anyway. If you are travelling close to the speed of light, time slows down, so that in what seems like a quick transit to your destination, you will actually arrive hundreds or thousands of years in the future, local time. So if you are going even faster, then presumably you would end up stepping off at your destination millions of years beyond your own time frame. Now someone once told me that warp was not actually a speed--that all vessels, even those in warp, actually travel at impulse, but reshape space to shorten the distance to another place. However, since the theory of relativity says time and space are interrelated, warp still does not seem to have any basis in what we assume to be true about space travel.
With nearly all science fiction programs and movies, there is a way to travel faster than the speed of light without the problems you mention, be it hyperspace or warp drive. Since the programs are make believe, we the fans just go along with it, assuming it works, and enjoy the story for what it is.
Most people think that there will be invented a way of traveling fast than the speed of light.
Now some info on wrap drive, When a starship travels at warp speeds it is traveling in a bubble of subspace that is called the warp field. The ship creates the bubble to travel in. The bubble I thing effects space and time there by getting the travels there on time. Hope that helped.
Now to get on with info and rumors about the show.clipart{cool}
The offical star trek website now has a site you can go to for info. http://www.startrek.com/default.asp, and click pic. or,
http://www.startrek.com/launch/default.asp
The ship is commissioned on 2151. 
Why was I make making a big fuss about the ships anyway? 
DK's right, the warp field created by the ship in subspace negates the effects of relativity. The nacelles create the field as part of the propulsion process.

I just saw a teaser, not sure I'll like the captain, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
| Posted By: Iznardi Sep 24, 2001 - 04:12 am | | okay, here's another one then. In Star Trek: Search for Spock and Voyage Home the crew captures a Klingon ship that has warp capability, yet there is no evidence in the structure for strutlike warp engines of a Federation ship. The wings actually contain the armaments. So how do they go to warp?
| Posted By: Nomad Sep 24, 2001 - 06:31 am | | LOL.....Anyone got the bluprints for the Klingon Ships? Was that a battle Cruiser?
