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. -- Martin Miller Harvard University Science Center ...harvard!h-sc1!miller
