My Version of a Transwarp Drive

Poster's Note: I originally post it on General Discussion but the Admin told me it's not a place for me to post my Idea.

In 2374(while not an alternate timeline or a parallel universe) Captain Montgomery Scott of Starfleet Corps of Engineers has retrofitted the Prototype U.S.S. Sovereign with an experimental Transwarp Drive using the old-but-sabotaged Excelsior Transwarp Technology(he removed the Transwarp Computer Chips to prevent the Excelsior from pursuing the Enterprise), Tachyon Particles, and tetryon-bichronium plasma flow in its Transwarp Drive components, for transitioning into a quantum energy state(similar to the Quantum Slipstream Drive). The Sovereign's Transwarp speed goes up to Warp 18.923(recalibrated scale). By 2382, after the Transwarp Drive were upgraded using Voyager's technologies, the Federation vessels were retrofitted with the device and it's speed goes up to Warp 29.992192(also recalibrated).

Actually it clearly states that in TNG warp factor 10 is the fastest you can go.
Recalbrating the scale wouldn't change that. it's like the difference in KPH and MPH (Ie 100 kph = 60 mph)
Throwing large amounts of techonobabel at it only confuses the issue
Concentrate on the story, and let the tech set the stage. Not the other way around.

yeah but really thats a scale of comparison, not actuall speed, its trans warp, not warp, u open up conduits through space with transwarp, unlike warp speed.

[quote=<ORI>;161207]I came up with my version of a Transwarp Drive:

So, what do you think?QUOTE]

Holy smokes......that's way to fast for a starship to handle!

but transwarp space is different from noral space, and its effects on a ship are different. if you can make a giant borg cube fly at those speeds, and faster through trans warp hubs, then a small federation ship should be no trouble.
