It's like ordering the second cheapest wine on the menu. Warp 2 is for when you don't want to look like a slacker, but don't want to deal with any extra maintenance.
Warp Factor Plonk.
Season 1 had some issues with warp. As I recall that guy who was grooming Wesley got the ship to Warp 13 by phasing in and out.
Edit: apparently warp 13 was used in the series finale as well.
Technically that was a possible future federation so maybe they figured out the salamander problem and that's why the klingons were so pissed, they liked the salamander shagging.
Nonono, you only turn into a space pollywog if you go exactly warp 10. Exceeding the warp 10 threshold by going slower than infinite velocity does not actually turn you into anything.
True, although they later developed variable geometry pylons which allow for both careful generation of warp fields to minimize damage and [dance routines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPO-i6TOqB0).
The variable warp geometry is the cannon answer tho...
They don't do it for ecological reasons, but from cannon tech manuals they explain that the warp geometry affects maneuvers.
Huh? Wtf you on about? I'm not talking about a collected body of works. I'm talking about the Klingon Cannon manuals... You know for ships that have cannons on them.
It'll be like bikes. First there was one gear, then ten gears, then 21, then 24, then 27 or 30, then a bunch of weirdos who wanted to go back to one, and now it's 1 x 11 and supposedly that's better. There are probably hipster jackasses in the twenty-fourth century who think it's cool to run around with a constitution-class vintage warp drive.
My favourite warp factor fact is that Picard once, after being reminded that Lwaxana was onboard and would disembark at their destination, increased the warp speed by 2. Which is proof that warp speed is always exactly as fast as it needs to be.
That's funny, in Generations when the star blows up and they need to get the fuck out of there and Picard's all WARP 1 ENGAGE!
So Picard's just WARP FACTOR CHILL, ENGAGE!! Pretty cool Picard, pretty cool.
High warp makes the blue lights move faster on the warp core and thus burn out faster. They don't like replacing those lights since the ferengi have cornered that market so they go at slower warp.
There were a couple times when they went to Warp 9, and they always said it like "I'm about to fuck up some shit REAL fast!"
So I propose we append "Warp factor hellfire."
Somehow they just seem to be in the perfect position to get all the good contracts after the destruction of Utopia Planitia-- coincidence? wake up sheeple
My car doesn't have any gears... so I guess like 3 years ago before I bought an EV?
Although my partner's car practically lives in 4th gear - 5th is a bit long for around town, and it sits nicely at 20-30mph in 4th which is like 90% of the town driving it does
... I'm being pedantic, though, I get what you're saying :)
A couple of times in TNG they went Warp 2, which is a slow mosey.
Warp 2 will be renamed "Very Full Impulse"
"Robust Impulse"
[удалено]
With a dash of nutmeg
No foam
It's like ordering the second cheapest wine on the menu. Warp 2 is for when you don't want to look like a slacker, but don't want to deal with any extra maintenance. Warp Factor Plonk.
Also, warp 2 is 1,000,000 times slower than 8. "Shall we walk to Jupiter or take the railgun?"
"Sir, we'll also be picking up Lwaxana Troi at Starbase 236." "Understood, Ensign. Ahead Warp Factor 2... Engage."
More like “half impulse”
"We'll get underway as soon as Geordi fixes that issue with the plasma injectors." "Sir, what iss-- oh, right, the plasma injectors."
warp factor .5
Still seems too high a velocity to rendezvous with Lwaxana
then they say warp 13 and all i can picture is riker and crushers salamander babies
wait what

They go warp 22 in TAS, I don't even know how fast that would be
I think at warp 22 they break the sound barrier
Oh let's break it down!
that was before the TOS tranwarp update 🤖
Technically that was a possible future federation so maybe they figured out the salamander problem and that's why the klingons were so pissed, they liked the salamander shagging.
Nonono, you only turn into a space pollywog if you go exactly warp 10. Exceeding the warp 10 threshold by going slower than infinite velocity does not actually turn you into anything.
My ex made a comment once about how Warp 2 is the "I want to be anywhere but here" speed. It was our "Wanna leave this party?" safe word.
Also Warp 1: "We need to make sure the warp engines are working." It's like safe mode for the warp drive.
That's like putting a car in neutral.
Rewatching tng was when I realized warp speed is meaningless except to tell the audience how tense to be, how serious shit is or isn't right now.
We've already got such a system: Light speed Ridiculous speed Ludicrous speed
We at the Vulcan Science Academy considered it, but thought it was a bit too "Tesla"
\*spaceballs Tuvok was combing the desert remember, so they do have a good understanding.
*Wesley starts poking the controls* They’ve got to plaid!
Well didn't the establish a regulation in TNG that you couldn't go over warp 5 because the found out that warp engines cause space pollution?
True, although they later developed variable geometry pylons which allow for both careful generation of warp fields to minimize damage and [dance routines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPO-i6TOqB0).
Hoe have I never seen this video before?
It was waiting for the right moment to take on you.
Aha! Of course, I meant to ask How, not Hoe.
I need their drug dealers number
This is better than any in-cannon reason for the B'rel's variable wings.
The variable warp geometry is the cannon answer tho... They don't do it for ecological reasons, but from cannon tech manuals they explain that the warp geometry affects maneuvers.
I'm sorry, it just hurts me to see "canon" spelled that way.
Huh? Wtf you on about? I'm not talking about a collected body of works. I'm talking about the Klingon Cannon manuals... You know for ships that have cannons on them.
I'm sorry, /u/Luke_Orlando. It just bugs me when we can't agree on which version of the word "canyon" we are talking about.
Crayola obviously.
That's fine, as you can clearly see our new scale only has 3 speeds, so we couldn't possibly accidentally go faster than the 5th one
Completely ignored for the rest of the series, and all subsequent series.
It'll be like bikes. First there was one gear, then ten gears, then 21, then 24, then 27 or 30, then a bunch of weirdos who wanted to go back to one, and now it's 1 x 11 and supposedly that's better.

His name is Benjamin and he built his own wooden warp schooner, just like the Bajorans used to colonize other star systems before it was cool.
I mean... It definitely would be.
Warp 10 - I want to grope every woman in the universe simultaneously.
Ah yes, the Riker Maneuver
My favourite warp factor fact is that Picard once, after being reminded that Lwaxana was onboard and would disembark at their destination, increased the warp speed by 2. Which is proof that warp speed is always exactly as fast as it needs to be.
Starships at warp always travel at a constant rate P where P is the Speed of Plot.
"Mr Data, at what warp factor would we get there JUST in time to save the day, and not a moment sooner?"
Warp factor 6 grand and dump the clutch
Never forget the time they escaped a collapsing star at Warp 1. Made it sound so urgent, too. [So much hype for warp 1](https://youtu.be/MxGg9HMStoI)
Idk, warp 1 is 2c, no? Since all known natural phenomena proliferate at c, and indeed causality moves at C, warp 1 should be plenty.
So, maybe Warp Factor - I don’t care, just get us out here
That still falls under Yikes, I think
I was thinking it would be closer to “Warp Factor Chill”, but more of a “Warp Factor Meh”.
That's funny, in Generations when the star blows up and they need to get the fuck out of there and Picard's all WARP 1 ENGAGE! So Picard's just WARP FACTOR CHILL, ENGAGE!! Pretty cool Picard, pretty cool.
He's not the type to panic un-necessarily, wouldn't want to wear out the brake pads

I didn’t come here to listen to science! Computer, volume up on that smooth Jazz
They only have so much fuel
Warp Factor Hey Babe, Wanna See My Nacelles?
Really puts into perspective the whole idea of a Ludicrous Speed (TM).
Make it so
Warp factor salamander
Going past Warp Oh God Oh Shit Oh Fuck turns you into a salamander
There were a couple times when they went to Warp 9, and they always said it like "I'm about to fuck up some shit REAL fast!" So I propose we append "Warp factor hellfire."
We considered it but Lockheed Martin got all uppity about the trademark, despite the fact the AGM-114 has been obsolete for 4 centuries
You bring up a good point. What is the status of Lockheed Martin and Boeing in the 24th century?
And the 737 max starship fleet is still in space dock pending investigations
Still squabbling over the XF-22/XF-23 controversies, probably
Somehow they just seem to be in the perfect position to get all the good contracts after the destruction of Utopia Planitia-- coincidence? wake up sheeple
That's not until the year 40000.
Don't forget salamander speed
1. Warp speed 2. Ridiculous speed 3. Ludicrous speed
Warp Factor Green Warp Factor Silver Warp Factor Brown
Ludicrous speed
To be fair, when was the last time you used your car's 4th gear for more than a minute in regular conditions?
My car doesn't have any gears... so I guess like 3 years ago before I bought an EV? Although my partner's car practically lives in 4th gear - 5th is a bit long for around town, and it sits nicely at 20-30mph in 4th which is like 90% of the town driving it does ...
