New Star Trek Movie

[Dervag]

It's a bunch of different speeds, and they all seemed faster in this movie than in other sources.

I believe that the stuff we see in this movie can be reconciled with the speeds typically used in the Star Trek continuity, which vary between about 100c and 1000c.

And I think that's just as well, because if warp travel can manage sustained speeds much above 1000c, the entire plot of Voyager vanishes in a puff of smoke- yes, even the bits that make sense.

The idea of Starfleet being able to zip around the galaxy at speeds much faster than that undermines the grandeur of the setting, in my opinion. In a universe where you can go anywhere interesting within a few days, there isn't much room for actual exploration. There's no concept of a frontier, and the idea of place, of one place being different than another, is a lot less significant.
