Top 10 Crazily Fast FTL Drives in STAR TREK

[@keeptv1918]

The spore drive seems to be essentially a wormhole drive with the mycelial network being pretty much a network of mushroom based wormholes

[@toddoverholt4556]

The way I heard it explained is that it took advantage of the quantum entanglements of a specific kind of universe spanning mushroom

[@jaydee1024]

Alex Kurtzman's idea was originally coined the Shroom drive, but while the function and special effects remained entirely the same they changed it to Spore drive so people would be slightly less likely to bust out laughing every time they used it.

[@GPsarakis]

@@toddoverholt4556 Isn't the "universe spanning mushroom" just a living network in another dimension though? It's kind of like the idea of subspace itself really. When they jump they're hopping between two points through this dimension that the myceials live in. Which is why when the network was at risk of dying it would've screwed with our own dimension because they're all link more or less. Same applies to subspace as per trek lore.

[@merafirewing6591]

​@@GPsarakis the spore drive does seem similar to the jump drive that Galactica uses.

[@jackglabere6653]

Whoever proposed a drive that basically powers a ship by huge tardigrades, must be using mushrooms themselves.

[@robertkibler1354]

I personally found the catapult to be the mostviable for the federation. On top if they used this technology they could strategically position them around federation space for future battles and would change the future, The discovery future, completely.

[@thomas.parnell7365]

True though I understand it caused ships damage too Either way I'm sure voyager brought back downloaded computer specs and detailed scans and 31st century technology be very viable . though what was that Vulcan gateway experiment that worked but was dangerous . maybe was a prototype .

[@deksroning125]

Actually Quantum Slipstream V2 from Timeless (10 000 Ly's per minute) seemed the most viable. Voy got it to work after all... in what a space of 4 to 6 months after encountering the original Quantum slipstream which topped out at 300 Ly's per hour. At any rate, Starfleet and UFP with their massive resources would have to be able to sort out the phase variance issue in at most a year after Voyager returned... assign adaptive algorithms into the mix, and problem solved. In fact, VOY also had scans of Tetryon reactors and a number of other energy generation technologies which did NOT rely on dilithium or Antimatter... so, the Burn never made any sense.. 800 years since the 24th century is a RIDICULOUSLY large amount of time for a space faring organisation comprised of over 150 different alien species to come up with FAR more advanced and better methods of generating power and FTL speeds. The Burn shouldn't have happened...it was just lazy writers not wanting to flex creative muscles to create a highly advanced setting in which they would actually have to THINK about how to use advanced technology and write compelling stories without duming stuff down (which is more than doable).

[@mawasorangutan]

Warp speed itself formed catapult motion, by using warp nacelles & deflector array dampening

[@midniteoyl8913]

Starfleet never utilizing the Subspace Vortex from the Xindi was criminal.

[@Restilia_ch]

I read a theory somewhere that it was only possible because the Spheres in the Delphic Expanse had already distorted space so much. Once they were destroyed, the ability to use the vortexes diminished until it was outright impossible.

[@glitterboy2098]

@@Restilia_ch that is what i suspect too. though IMO the federation may well have experimented with trying to get it to work every so often. it is also possible that vortex drive never stopped working, but without the Delphic Expanse and its spatial alterations, the result was just not any faster than standard early warp drive.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

Come on people Cant go back an expect new story lines to match up with older ideas. Even the Xindi wasn't mentioned again in star trek. Different timeline? JJ verse to Cannon.

My favorite part was explaining the FTL drive of the Bajoran wormhole.

[@markobohorc7315]

There is another method of travel that Q junior used with Delta flyer when he tried to run away. He used that method at least three times; 1. He escapes and Icheb gets hurt, 2. He returns to Voyager to get help, 3. Q and Janeway return to the place of attack. It always bothered me that they somehow weren't able to get navigational and sensor logs to recreate it on a larger scale. Then there is a spatial trajector from Sikaris with a range of 40000 light years in few seconds ... And if we're counting experimental Quantuum slipstream, we should also count Warp 10 ... We are also forgetting the faster then light travel from Stargate; If we can count catapult from ST VOY, we should also count Puddle Jumpers going through the stargate, jumping wast distances in a matter of seconds (all depends on available power on the dialling side). And of course, there is Atlantis - the city-ship with a wormhole drive, that can achieve the same thing without any need for stargates on either end.

[@DayneTreader]

Don't forget about Destiny

There was also the Barzan wormhole that turned out to be unstable, sending two Ferengi to the Delta Quadrant. They make another appearance in VOY and ruin the crew’s chances of getting home

I love quantum slipstream! I really wish that "hero ships" of Star Trek (Enterprise, Defiant, a new Voyager, etc) would be fitted with them. I always felt it looked exactly like *hyperspace from Star Wars*. It could literally bridge the 2 sci fi franchises if they really wanted to. They're sitting on a gold mine and they don't even know it. Subspace vortices and transwarp also sound like hyperspace drive, too. And I love underspace corridors, too 8-)

[@tessierpower]

I also LOVED Voyager’s Timeless it is also one of the best episodes of the show in my opinion

[@TheVeritas1]

British Ben, Great video. I had forgotten some of these non-warp means of FTL travel. As for my favorites: * Spore Drive - I love the spinning effect when Disco teleports across space. Also, the ship traveling via mushroom highway is crazy enough to fit in Trek. After all, the franchise has magic tech (replicators) and intelligent space jellyfish. * Bajoran Wormhole - Yes, the wormhole is scientifically plausible. But it's the LOOK of the wormhole that sells it. The opening of the wormhole is a stunning event that it makes sense so many races would flock to it. * Graviton Catapult - I forgot about this one until you mentioned it. The GC is cool because it's simple, but effective: load ship and then launch. It's a futuristic twist on old technology. So, that's my list. Keep up the great work.

[@infexusbytez]

One thing. When Voyager was following the Delta Flyer, Harry Kim was transmitting phase variances, not navigational coordinates.

[@killingragethrowback]

Am I the only one that thinks the Graviton Catapult sounds like a Mass Relay?

[@QuantaSolace]

Probably where Bioware got the idea from.

[@rwleif]

A lot of Mass Effect was inspired by Babylon 5, so they probably threw in some Star Trek for good measure.

[@johnwang9914]

The concept of gateways into some form of FTL or launcher has always been in SciFi. I even wrote a short story during Elementary school about the discovery of an ancient alien gateway in our solar system.

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Yea imo it's clearly a sky hook or orbital delivery system to anyone physicist who doesn't watch star trek (if such a person exists 🤣)!

[@DogsRNice]

Well it does relay mass

[@arklestudios]

It's not made explicit in the episode, but I think the deal with the coaxial warp drive was that the larger the ship, the more likely it was to fail catastrophically (ship go boom), which could explain why Voyager never tried to integrate it into their systems. Their shuttles could've likely used it safely, but the writers probably never even considered that.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

What did the Caretaker use? It took Voyager all the way across the galaxy in a few seconds. The Borg don't invent anything. they assimilate it. What about the Guardian of forever? Neither alive or a machine? How about the transporter in All of Yesterday's? Probably the same technology of the Iconian's. The Iconian Gateway.

[@daveorselli1468]

In the episode "Spock's Brain", they encountered an Ion drive. No mention of it... The Romulans use a confined singularity to power their warp core. No mention of that either.

[@IN-tm8mw]

i agree with Star Trek Online technology progression with the drives. i think Trans Warp and Slipstream were the next best evolutionary steps needed for more exploration of the universe.
