Assuming we’re talking about the original Enterprise…
Regular cruising speed: Warp 5
Maximum cruising speed: Warp 6
Maximum possible speed: Warp 9… for 4 hours.
Find your regular cruising speed and save your maximum speed for emergencies.
Can someone tell this to my "faster faster" ass boss?
That someone is you. Otherwise you can just nod and proceed at your own managable pace. Stay safe.
I always do the second option lol, they don't seem to catch on.
That usually means faster into corrections and aftercare where much more money is lost.
The original spaceship Enterprise was a test orbiter without engines.
Are you calling yourself the OV-101?
In that case, glide at your own pace. :)
And after those 4 hours at warp 9, the ship would be halted for days for repairs.
If you're holding a speed for four hours, I'd call it cruising.
That generally my cruise time until I need to pull in for a leg stretch, more fuel and snacks, and a pee.
That’s because after four hours the engine is running so hot things start to break or malfunction, inviting a warp core breach that is guaranteed to ruin everyone’s day. Even without any unexpected failures, you’re going to be put into space dock for a refit several years before it was necessary.
Honestly, that just strengthens the allegory. Don’t run yourself hot, even if you can “handle it.” It still puts too much stress on your system. Even if you don’t give yourself a stroke, it will literally lead to an early death.
