Speaking of inconsistancies in distance traveled and warp speeds (someone
was), did anyone note the amazing difference between impulse speeds in
TWOK and in TSFS?  In TWOK the Enterprise leaves orbit under thrusters and
leaves the Solar system under impulse engins.  one half impulse powergets
them to Jupiter in negligable time (20 min?).  To realy go places they
shift to warp drive at edge of SS.  In TSFS they use 1/2 impulse to get out
of the space station!

I would think that the way it was done in TWOK is more likely.  This would
make manuvering thrusters some sort of chemical rocket while impulse engins
are much(!) more powerful.
