Warp Speed!

Warp speed! The evolution of the warp drive effect from the Star Trek movies, from the spectacular neon streak photography of The Motion Picture through the rather less awesome animated trails of the later TOS movies to the feeble CG of Nemesis, where they couldn't even be bothered to include the 'warp stretch' effect. And what's with those smoke trails? Has the Enterprise got a cracked manifold? *sigh*

@Shockwaver08 Starfleet definitely used bunks. Watch Star Trek VI. When Excelsior gets hit by the shockwave crewmen get thrown from bunks.

@Azakhiel Damn that's a good one. I should remember that!

@sockbucket Star Trek V WAS half-assed.

Wrath of Kahn, the best of them all: No disco light show, no magic marker streaks, no smoke trail (what was up with THAT, it just look normal and "natural".

@negativecommentsful @Laslavadelaghetto IF YOU'RE A TRUE STAR TREK FAN You know they ALWAYS stay away from warping into a solar system to begin with. In DS9, they even went as far as refusing to warp within a solar system because of the dangers of dropping out of warp inside an atmosphere. In Voyager. And most obvious. A star ship doesn't warp till AFTER the spark. It speeds up first. If a star ship speeds up in the atmosphere it would heat up the ship, naturally, causing damage to the hull.

Probs for calling out the lameness of what they did on Nemesis. Thanks for the complication.

@kght222 Yeah, kind of like a sonic boom. but here, it is an ocular boom.
