/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

"Ahead, impulse power."
"... uh, how much impulse -- you know what, never mind."
Full ahead. Otherwise the order would be half impulse or some other quantifier.
Ehh, shes right. On a naval vessel, you state the speed in the order. You dont want any ambiguity in ship movement, even mundane movements.
"Ahead full" is the correct order for full speed ahead. They would need to say "impulse full" or "full impulse" if they maintain good naval practices.
Although unlike a naval vessel, Starfleet ships have multiple engines for different speeds. You don't want the pilot to be confused and rack the ship up to Warp cuss when you wanted full-impulse only.
It is also possible "Impulse speed" is a standardised speed in its own right, similar to how someone might say "object approaching at warp-speed, on intercept course".
Impulse velocity is definitely a standard. That's why they sometimes say half impulse, or other variations. They do say full impulse sometimes, but, IIRC, mostly when they have been, or are planning to move at various levels of impulse
Perhaps just one.
