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. -- Spoken: Judd Rogers Arpa: judd.umcp-cs@CSNet-relay Uucp:...{allegra,seismo}!umcp-cs!judd
