Anyway one takes somthing into Subspace one looses a great deal of mass in Realspace, For each Warp you go up(Warp 1,2 and so on) you have to shed roughly 10% of the mass of your object but the regular 8% from going into Warp at all

So a ship at Warp 9 even though its going quite fast looses over 98% of its Mass

If you ever got it published just switch it around(Have them drop out of Warp and hit the Ships at .9C that still quite a good clip) and double the Rock size... Acutal no I take that Back, a 150 Meter Rock should be good enough if you hit it at .9C(Might want to stack explosives on the Surface too )

The Executioner, which had been proudly protecting his left was gone, replaced by an enormous fireball. Huge rings of fire were emanating out in waves that were igniting the Romulan warbirds too close to the blast.

Tarsi had seen big ships explode, there was no doubt in his mind that the Executioner was gone.

"Jan-Her!" he shouted.

I always assumed that a vessel maintains its mass when going to warp. if that is true then I will most definately change that in the story in a revision. I just wanted to give the objects maximum impact and I figured that at warp it really must make a big boom...once again my scientific ignorance shows

“Wes, we could really use some marksmanship up there.”

“Funny that, I was about to say we could use something called evasive maneuvers down there.” Wes replied wanly without slipping a beat.

......they must ALL pay for this outrage...ALL OF THEM!!!

One of the greatest lines from the TIE Fighter game. =) Why can't LucasArts make a game like that anymore?

Come on, Bean, we don't know how big those asteroids were.

And anyway, this is not necessarily a "realistic" fanfic. It is important to offer authors artistic license in things like this, to allow for better balance. Let Stravo finish his work his way. We owe it to him, at this point.

“One more thing.” Tom said with a flourish and pulled a control. A small canister was launched from the Falcon and exploded against the front of the Science facility. The canister released a horde of nanites who instantly sprayed paint all over the wall where they landed in precise programmed patterns before they deactivated. The painted message blazed proudly on the front of the building in bright blue letters.

Crown wrote:Stravo I am a warsie, and I would just like to say that I love the way you have been writting this fanfic so far. I mean Kirk rakes me a little, but without him what would be the point?

As for Thrawn, there is something that just doesn't sit right for me with his inclusion, and I will be honest and admit that it's because I don't believe the Empire needs his abilities to pacify the Federation, Kirk or no Kirk. Having said that, I am still breathless with anticipation to see him enter the scene!

Stravo wrote: I hear you on the Thrawn bit Crown, but this is more a Gary Mitchell manuever than the EMpire feeling like it needs Thrawn to pacify the Federation. Gary is stacking the deck to ridiculous extremes in order to defeat and humiliate Kirk. Besides...doesn't everyone want to see that matchup or what?

Did you get that from ASVS?
Because way back in Febuary or sometime like that, I posted something like that, but it was nanites painting maple leafs all over the place.

Stravo wrote: “Do you realize what you’ve done?” Scotty asked in shock.

“What is it? Oh you mean compared to your warp core on the old Enterprise. Well, Mr. Scott there was a revolution in warp propulsion in the last twenty years. We found that if you shunt the matter stream directly through the core intermix chamber without the plasma manifolds acting as buffers, warp power increases 15% compared to the standard warp cores of your day.”

Scotty stared up at the massive intermix chamber, exposed for all the world to see rising up through several decks.

“And the plasma blowback?” he asked sullenly.

“Well, we deal with the ionization differently, we allow some of it to fill the core and keep the core superheated at all times, thus allowing us to do a cold restart in less than 5 minutes compared to the half hour it took in your day.”

“Let me get this straight, lad. You’ve stripped out every back up, every safety feature so that you could gain a 20% boost in warp power and you allow super heated plasma to remain suspended in the core, I can also see that the heat is an issue from all the coolant leads going into the core.” Scott noted with disdain.

“Yes?” Geordie asked not sure where Scott was going with this.

“You’ve got more power than we could generate in my day but I guarantee that you have warp core breaches.”

“Well, they do happen on occasion.” Geordie conceded.

“Lad, back in my day, a starship could have had every part of its hull blasted away and there would never be a danger of a warp core breech. In fact I have only seen a warp core breech twice in my entire career, BOTH were created in a lab for experimentation purposes. There was a reason why we did not do what you did. We knew the risks. You think this set up is a revolution in warp propulsion, lad? This is a design routinely rejected by Starfleet’s corps of Engineers for over ten years in my time.”

‘There was a change in thinking.” Geordi replied weakly.

“Obviously.” Scott grimaced. “Safety was no longer a concern.”

“No, we simply developed the safety features needed to finally fully realize this design.”

Scott frowned. Some things had not changed for the better.
