Talk:Coaxial warp drive

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I believe the drive was not used again by Starfleet because bending time (A form of time travel) went against the prime directive, Not because it was Impossible to build a stable version.

The drive folds/bends space, not time.

[edit] Change or delete this statement

Since the drive wasn't seen again, it presumably turned out to be impossible to make a stable version.

I don't believe this statement to be true, I believe they would of left this technology to be figured out for the people at Starfleet. And plus It was already demonstrated that it was during the flight that took place when the impostor took Paris' place and left Paris unconscious to fly his Coaxial warp ship.(Signed ip Anon :))

Certainly they would not have just left it for Starfleet to figure out, we saw with the Quantum Slipstream drive, the Transwarp drive, etc., that they didn't just "leave it for Starfleet". --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:23, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Then why wouldn't they of tried it, even if they already proven it could be stable? I believe they didn't want to take the risk, as said by Tu'vok and ?? an explosion by this kind of technology could be devastating. that should be the main reason. and not that they concluded it to be impossible to make stable... which we see and know it can be.

They did try it, in "Vis à Vis", but they could not get it to be stable. Similar to the Quantum Slipstream, it was stable on the NX-01-A, but not on Voyager. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 22:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

But I want referring to the time where the "body snatcher" alien was trying to flee from voyager. I'm referring to the part where Paris as a transformed alien was knocked out, and auto piloted into Coaxial Warp somewhere else. That test worked and was stable. and it wasn't normal warp either.

That would be Transwarp drive. ;) - Adm. Enzo Aquarius...I'm listening 21:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

No, it is still the coaxial warp, not the transwarp. He is referring to Seth. Problem is, IIRC that was on Seth's ship. They were not able to get it to work with stability on Starfleet ships. Similar, as I said, to the Quantum Slipstream drive. Worked on the NX-01-A ship, but NOT on Starfleet ships. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 02:44, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and edited the article to reflect this. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 04:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
