Quantum Warp Field

Star Trek Voyager Season 4 Hope and Fear

Rerouting auxiliary power is the solution for every problem.

[@neilomac]

Something something EPS conduits something something auxiliary power something something reroute through the navigational deflector

[@BoroMirraCz]

That's why it's AUXILIARY power. It's meant to do exactly that - be rerouted according to needs.

[@IN-tm8mw]

@@BoroMirraCz Nice, glad to see someone knows what its used for. As an IT tech, it always amuses me how people think computer resource and power grid management is fake. This is a common thing with infrastructure systems.

[@majorlagg9321]

Man, my tailight went out, so I flipped some buttons on my dash and rerouted auxiliary power, and reset the dampening fields. It worked!

[@ShuskiCross]

@@majorlagg9321 Another view of it would be:
My lights can support 48volts. Commonly, They are running on 24volts, as that's ideal for 99% of the situations they are needed for. Don't want to burn them out, and or waste excess energy.
I really need to see something now, the 24volts is just not cutting it. I need more light, LIKE NOW, so I reroute/switch an auxiliary power line that runs on 48volts to this light. Bam excess light for that certain situation.
Same with the show, shields are failing. They need to recharge, so reroute auxiliary power to the recharge relays/circuits, so the shield can recharge as they're getting beaten. Your recharge cycle just went from 30 seconds or w/e to a split second as your shield emitters are fully charged again.
I believe in the episode with the equinox, they had to drop their shields, and let their (what was left) main power to recharge them, as most of their auxiliary systems were fried. Or it was the other way around, I can't remember the details.

[@maxe3110]

Every time I see another method voyager used to get home faster, I think about how absolutely pissed Janeway must have been when she found out about the spore drive.

[@serinahighcomasi2248]

_If_ she even did at all.

[@DayneTreader]

She probably still doesn't know about it. I doubt more than like ten people know about it in all of Starfleet

[@DantesonofSparda85]

@@DayneTreader it would've been denied at every level of the top brass at Starfleet Command and possibly the Federation Council as while it was a ground breaking technology at the time, it was deemed dangerous as it would mentally destroy the "navigator" over long periods of time with the constant exposure to the Mycelium spores needed to use it.

[@markcorneliuslau]

[@randomrazr]

[@clemo85]

One of the things that annoyed me with Voyager was that 150ish Starfleet personnel were able to accomplish more in approximately 7 years than the entire of Starfleet in 100 years...

[@mosermi443]

Thats what made it a story worth telling

[@Kinsanth_]

Dont forget, they are most of the time alone, have to improvise on the spot, have to defend themselves, constantly being on watch for fuel and allies. If you put that all together, not falling in despair and keep on going made those advancements necessary and held them together

[@captaindrake1235]

@@Kinsanth_ "Held them together" is a bit of stretch in this case, without some time travel shenanigans Voyager would have crashed and burned.

[@Blackup223]

Now comb the delta quadrant

[@icwiz]

What always gets me is that they never try to prefect this tech. I mean they knew enough to go into slipstream, they should have been able to do it properly later on with some development.

[@BackgroundSpace]

There were a lot of techs that fit that mindset but setting aside the standard "It's a show" statement they would probably have been concerned at how unstable it was just to get it to work the first time. They probably worked on it in the background but when did they really get time off to do that? They were rebuilding half the ship every few weeks it felt like.

[@TomalakGeretkal]

I guess you didn't watch the episode "Timeless".

[@icwiz]

Oooh man, i totally forgot about that episode.

[@chromeshellking]

Seems to me a smaller craft than the Intrepid class could remain in it and not have to calculate phase corrections as the threshold formed. The Delta Flyer made it back home in that episode.

[@novoeduardoac1248]

icwiz If I were Janeway, I would equipp the Delta Flyer with slipstream again, send Harry Kim and one other member of the crew, maybe Vorik, back to Earth with a message: "find out how to properly and effectively modify the quantum slipstream drive into an Intrepid class ship"

[@Nemephosis]

"Is there any way to increase our velocity" you just made it to the fastest known and unknown speed anyone has ever traveled by and immediately you want more?

[@SyzygyNoon]

If they’d only diverted power from the aft EPS conduits into the primary resequencing node, they could have quintupled their phase output. Why didn’t they think of that?

[@RS-ls7mm]

But you forget that the excess pion generation degrades the warp field integrity.

[@DMphobia]

That's why you divert power away from the secondary phaser banks and transfer it to boost warp field containment integrity.

[@SyzygyNoon]

@@DMphobia Right?
Secondaries are almost never needed. Even if you siphon off 2% of life support in concordance with back-up systems, you've got your ass one bat-out-of-hell, or whatever they'd call it.
Of course, if the endeavor fails, you gone.

watching Janeway sit in the Captains Chair for the first time on the Voyager , was amazing

[@raven4k998]

why can't they keep using the deflector method of quantum slip stream and just drop out to recharge the structural integrity field between jumps seem like they could have used it that way to get home eventually

[@saquist]

Wow Voyager really did just apply QUANTUM to everything.

[@Monarch_Prime]

Federation ships used antimatter reactions.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

That is not Voyager. it is a copy made from living sentient fluid deuterium.

[@VoodooV1]

what they really needed to do was add more Xs to everything, that would make it go faster.

[@MrJay197409]

Give it 15 years we will have and can do anything with technology thanks to miracle worker Janeway.

[@brianbumgardner8704]

[@Vopadevas]

Right here is why there was no reason they couldn't have made some modifications and made quantum hops to get home faster

[@CloudHiro]

you know thinking about the slipstream tech and how only shuttlecrafts like the delta flyer could use it safely over huge distances ...why didnt they just park voyager and have the flyer do a few trips back and forth to get everyone home?

[@novoeduardoac1248]

They can go slipstream this time, why didn't they do it more often? Like once every few months

[@stars9084]

I always wondered why they couldn't do it every once in a while

[@jutau]

+Novo Eduardo AC They tried, and died, and broke the temporal prime directive again.

[@novoeduardoac1248]

Study it more, make adjustments. I doubt that every Warp Engine from TOS Warp 1 to Voy Warp 9.975 went without incidents- seems to me that what happened here would be akin to Voyager returning to 2151 and giving Earth Warp 9 tech. Here Voyager acquired Faster-than-warp tech, managed somehow to adapt and adjust its systems to use it.

[@ue8472]

i always thought it was a navigation and compensation issue ...they didnt have the math lol

[@chromeshellking]

Also don't forget the benemite? crystals decayed too quick and couldn't be synthesized easily.

[@AzguardMike]

so they can use this for an hour before it is a danger? Why not do it for 50 minutes, then drop out. Do the minor repairs, top up the energy at the nearest M class plannet, then do it again for another 50 minutes?

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

They planned to do that....
But, they were exposed to some kind of radiation that Made them break down.
Then they began to remember that they were actually _copies_ of the real Voyager.
The real Voyager never had slipstream drive technology.

[@VulpisFoxfire]

...Is it me, or was Belana wearing a loose top to hide her pregnancy?

[@mikahael1]

the actress was pregnant yes that is why she wore her uniform that way when they had to show body shots. Later on in season 5 most of her shots were upper body shots only so no one saw her being prego.

[@Ozzy_2014]

VulpisFoxfire Roxanne Dawson was pregnant with a daughter at the time. Its why she's absent for a few episodes later.

[@r0bw00d]

They also worked her pregnancy into an episode. I can't remember it too well, but I think they were on the holodeck and had their memories modified to think that they were spies during the 1940s in France.

[@wp9409]

Same reason you never see them use the bathroom, do laundry, or launch the aeroglider they apparently had the whole time.

[@jos.1839]

So they traveled after Arturis back (to another direction to home to Borg space) they had a hour of slipstream. So half hour there for captain and seven and half hour back to starting point. Then the hull was at critical temperature. Ok. Lets take the enormous energy drain to the ship. Ok they refuel and try it again. Why not? It wasnt ever explained why they cant

[@DavidKnowles0]

I think the idea was that this slipstream drive cause structural issues that Voyager couldn't repair.

[@kargaroc386]

any answer that isn't the real one ("but then the show would be over!") is gonna sound like flat earth gibberish.

[@Ash_Rein]

With all of the stress and damage that ship went through, how does it look brand new by the end? The show needed to be serialized instead of acting like every episode was semi unrelated to the last

[@redleader5625]

Probably because they have a magic device called a replicator. They could just create more if something breaks given enough resources

[@Ash_Rein]

Replicators didn’t work like that. Ships suffering heavy damage would have to go in for major repairs. It’s been shown throughout the movies and all the TV series. Voyager would regularly suffer damage that would render it almost unsalvageable. It would have its hull ripped apart. There would be regular breaches that would require emergency force fields. Even if they fixed the ship in the delta quadrant, it would end up looking like a huge messy patchwork. But yet it looks like it came out of dry dock

[@jondoofus2128]

Leon Kernan Only Crossfield class vessels could use the spore drive (AKA USS Discovery, USS Glenn, ISS Discovery, and USS Crossfield)

@@Vexnatos Given that Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda was supposed to be the far far future of the Trek universe, and how their FTL system needed an organic pilot, I could see the Mycelial Network being that FTL tech finally perfected.

[@imperialsecuritybureau6037]

So what speed were they travelling at here? Some 10,000c or so?

[@alexandernoe1619]

They did 10,000ly in a few minutes, so it must be like several million ly per day, so that is around 1 billion c. However, speeds in Voyager almost never make sense, for example once Janeway orders to set a course at Warp 2 to a target at a distance of 5.2ly, which would take 200 days... also, in Star Trek novels playing after Voyager has returned home, the federation makes this drive work properly, but afaik at speeds below 1000ly/h., i.e. below 8,760,000c.

[@Restilia_ch]

@@alexandernoe1619 Star Trek Online puts Slipstream at Warp 33, which on the old ^3 scale puts it at 35,937c. At least that what my ship gets with it, probably varies like every stat in the game depending on gear.

@@Restilia_ch if you have a Cetain Space Trait and Skill, the right Ship with the Right Conosles and right Warp Core and Engine... i think even right Sector Space Abilities. you can go at about a Warp Speed of 148.09 (here is the link for how someone actually Achieved that Speed www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/f9nt5s/new_sector_speed_record_achieved_warp_speed_14809/)

Discovery laughs at your so called 'speed' Voyager.

[@sharp14x]

Voyager laughs at how shit Discovery is.

[@btqy]

At this speed if they shot a photon torpedo would they pass it or will the torpedo just drop?

[@alexandrearrive6199]

Considering Voyager's acceleration is at 0 (they've reached their maximum slipstream velocity) and the torpedo's velocity is relative to Voyager, it should launch and fly towards them normally. However, since they are in the quantum slipstream, the torpedo would probably drop out of warp or explode once it exits Voyager's quantum warp bubble, causing a lot of damage in both cases. Long story short, it would just hit Voyager and/or explode.

[@DreamskyDance]

Torpedo would be in thesame reference frame as the voyager, that is in its bubble.. it would act normally.. untill it goes far enough and exits that reference frame and then circumstances would probably change meaning that torpedo is traveling at infinite speed relative to the rest of the universe, thus having infinite mass ( Emc2 ).. and Kabum in normal space..
Voyager would continue along happily because it is in its own bubble still, that is its own reference frame.
The ship itself is traveling at maximum impulse, not the speed of light, the space itself ( in case of a warp ) or i presume quantum foam in case of quantum warp.. is traveling instead.
As far as ship is concerned its traveling under the speed of light, as far as rest of the universe is concerned something is pulling that patch of space with the ship and all of its associated quantum wave functions really really fast...
( on that note: no wonder they couldnt solve the maths for this slipstream drive.. i mean you would need a computer the size of the universe probably to calculate all probabilities of trajectories and manifesting and disapearing of virtual particles in vacum and all that for every planck scale of the area of the bubble for every quark, boson or even the smalles particle in empty space around the ship or ship itself and stuff and people on it... thats simply impossible. )
