[edit] Forum:Warp Five and Usage time

I want to apologize in advance if this isn't the right place, I couldn't decide where to open this topic. I suppose the NX class might have been the right place. In any case, in relation to that class, and the Enterprise I noticed there seems to be no mention any place about the period of it's use in terms how long the ship can go. What brought this up to me, as the Star Trek Enterprise episode, "The Expanse" and possibly a few others, referenced to the fact they had traveled at warp five for weeks at a time.

Moving onto what my point/question is, should there be a mention someplace, such as on the NX class page, or the Enterprise page, anywhere about that sort of mention? Possibly indicating the use of near maximum warp (for that time it was more or less maximum warp for Earth Starfleet vessels, wasn't it?) for a long period of time (When the other series seemed to indicate that higher warp speeds were manageable up to a point for periods of time)?--Terran Officer 12:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

in ENT: "The Expanse" it is mentioned that the NX-01 can move with Warp 5.2 for min 7 weeks. in ENT: "Affliction" orders "maximum warp" and than one scene later:

ARCHER: Take us to warp five point two.
TRAVIS: Sir, we can't hold that speed for long.
