 I'm talking about the time differential between Traveling @ warp vs. Sublight. assuming of course the weapons can cross the warp barrier to the sublight realm, there is a 99.9 probability that you would overshoot the target. They've said it repeatedly in DS9, Voyager and Enterprise and to include ST:TNG BOBW where o'brian mentions the ship had to match warp velocity's to do any type of combat. Checov wasn't that great of a gunner during TOS days. Perhaps the movie era. I mean .00008 seconds is a really short amount of time to target something + fire the weapon. And if you say anything about the sensors, I will smite you because in order to do battle you have to use your latteral sensors to get detailed tracking information and that would mean if your moving @ warp 4 you traverse your lateral sensor range in .008 seconds.

And don't tell me they can drop to impulse from warp because it is stated in the show (mind you) that a weapon fired at warp stays @ warp unless it has a subspace field inverter which is a peice of equipment no smaller the 18 meters long so it can't fit inside of a torpedo casing. And if you want to argue the Picard Manuver then don't because they had to drop out of warp which is not strafing because the ship had to "DROP OUT OF WARP" to sublight speed in order to attact the enemy ship.

Then if you really want to get mad read this: The directors and writers of the original series discredited that episode due to their lack of knowledge. If they discredit it.. it become non-official even if it is in the TV Show.

I mean explain Star Trek V. And don't tell me they where traveling "twords the center of the galaxy" because Cybok clearly says that Shakarei was "In the center of the Galaxy" in the speach to the crew of the Enterprise. There was no Wormhole or any other phenomina or else they would have at least mentioned it. but 6.7 hours from Nimbus 3 to the center of the galaxy?? If this is official then any ship wanting to go to the center of the galaxy should make a quick 3 day trip from earth to Nimbus 3 then leave and head to the center of the galaxy.
