  • In this episode we look at 10 faster than warp drives in Star Trek. There are many methods of ftl travel in the Star Trek universe that are faster than regular warp drive. We have carefully chosen a selection for you from Transwarp to wormholes from Star Trek Discovery to Star Trek Voyager! List below:
    Subspace Vortex (Xindi)
    Spore Drive
    Transwarp (Borg)
    Subspace Distortion
    Quantum Slipstream
    Coaxial Warp Drive
    Subspace Corridors
    Tash’s Catapult
    Wormhole
    Chrono Deflector

    The spore drive seems to be essentially a wormhole drive with the mycelial network being pretty much a network of mushroom based wormholes

      Alex Kurtzman's idea was originally coined the Shroom drive, but while the function and special effects remained entirely the same they changed it to Spore drive so people would be slightly less likely to bust out laughing every time they used it.

      @@toddoverholt4556 Isn't the "universe spanning mushroom" just a living network in another dimension though? It's kind of like the idea of subspace itself really. When they jump they're hopping between two points through this dimension that the myceials live in. Which is why when the network was at risk of dying it would've screwed with our own dimension because they're all link more or less. Same applies to subspace as per trek lore.

      Actually Quantum Slipstream V2 from Timeless (10 000 Ly's per minute) seemed the most viable.
      Voy got it to work after all... in what a space of 4 to 6 months after encountering the original Quantum slipstream which topped out at 300 Ly's per hour.
      At any rate, Starfleet and UFP with their massive resources would have to be able to sort out the phase variance issue in at most a year after Voyager returned... assign adaptive algorithms into the mix, and problem solved.
      In fact, VOY also had scans of Tetryon reactors and a number of other energy generation technologies which did NOT rely on dilithium or Antimatter... so, the Burn never made any sense.. 800 years since the 24th century is a RIDICULOUSLY large amount of time for a space faring organisation comprised of over 150 different alien species to come up with FAR more advanced and better methods of generating power and FTL speeds.
      The Burn shouldn't have happened...it was just lazy writers not wanting to flex creative muscles to create a highly advanced setting in which they would actually have to THINK about how to use advanced technology and write compelling stories without duming stuff down (which is more than doable).

    There is another method of travel that Q junior used with Delta flyer when he tried to run away. He used that method at least three times; 1. He escapes and Icheb gets hurt, 2. He returns to Voyager to get help, 3. Q and Janeway return to the place of attack. It always bothered me that they somehow weren't able to get navigational and sensor logs to recreate it on a larger scale.
    Then there is a spatial trajector from Sikaris with a range of 40000 light years in few seconds ...
    And if we're counting experimental Quantuum slipstream, we should also count Warp 10 ...
    We are also forgetting the faster then light travel from Stargate; If we can count catapult from ST VOY, we should also count Puddle Jumpers going through the stargate, jumping wast distances in a matter of seconds (all depends on available power on the dialling side).
    And of course, there is Atlantis - the city-ship with a wormhole drive, that can achieve the same thing without any need for stargates on either end.

    British Ben,
    Great video. I had forgotten some of these non-warp means of FTL travel.
    As for my favorites:
    * Spore Drive - I love the spinning effect when Disco teleports across space. Also, the ship traveling via mushroom highway is crazy enough to fit in Trek. After all, the franchise has magic tech (replicators) and intelligent space jellyfish.
    * Bajoran Wormhole - Yes, the wormhole is scientifically plausible. But it's the LOOK of the wormhole that sells it. The opening of the wormhole is a stunning event that it makes sense so many races would flock to it.
    * Graviton Catapult - I forgot about this one until you mentioned it. The GC is cool because it's simple, but effective: load ship and then launch. It's a futuristic twist on old technology.
    So, that's my list. Keep up the great work.

Also it took a lot less time than a few hours, it was more like a minute or two. Therefore the top speed could be as high as 5 octillion times the speed of light.

    It's not made explicit in the episode, but I think the deal with the coaxial warp drive was that the larger the ship, the more likely it was to fail catastrophically (ship go boom), which could explain why Voyager never tried to integrate it into their systems. Their shuttles could've likely used it safely, but the writers probably never even considered that.

He tried to adapt it to a show twice before it finally took off as Andromeda, after his death, of course. Federation became Commonwealth, Starfleet became High Guard, Klingons became Nietzscheans, Vulcans became Perseids (sort of, they’re very emotional about science), etc.

They practice warped beliefs based on Nietzsche’s philosophy and the works of Ayn Rand (their homeworld is called Fountainhead). Their main goal in life is to spread their genes as much as possible, thus their men seek to be as strong and cunning as possible to show their breeding to potential mates, and women seek out those qualities in them. It’s not uncommon for successful men to have multiple wives. Love is irrelevant in their culture.
      A typical Nietzchean introduces himself by stating his full name (first and last name, which are often historical in nature; one time there was even a guy named Genghis Stalin), then his pride (yes, they divide themselves into prides like lions), and then the names of his parents (e.g. “out of Victoria by Barbarossa”). Sometimes they’re asked for more details about their genealogy, as if they’re horses or something.

    I've long held the idea that if you can travel in time then you can travel to any point in space in an instant. Instead of moving forward or backward in time you move sideways. Given the Federation's understanding of temporal dynamics for ST:TOS Voyager should have been able to figure out a temporal manipulation based travel system relatively easily. But then you end the story too soon and the studio makes no money.
