Hows'about consuming x {shots, mugs, whatever} in direct proportion
to the speed of the Enterprise (i.e., when it is first announced
or when it is ordered changed)? Y'know:
Kirk: Ahead warp factor 2. --> 2 shots.
Chekov: M-5 has changed course, moving towards
the Potamkin at warp 5 --> 5 shots.
Kirk: Ahead--space normal speed. --> everyone take a break.
That would be pretty interesting in "By Any Other Name," when the
ships engines are modified to allow travel at warp 11.
Very dangerous for ships with Transwarp Drive, too.
