That's wrong too. In TOS, it was basically a fusion rocket driving plasma rockets. In TNG and later, they added a sub-space field to decrease the mass of the ship involved.
- lovegoblin 6y ago> In TOS, it was basically a fusion rocket driving plasma rockets. Yeah even in TNG-era the impulse engine is fusion, used for both sublight propulsion and as a backup power source. Why YES, I DID bust out my old Tech Manual. Thank you for asking. Page 75.
- RegnisGnaw 6y agoIn the TNG tech manual, they did say that there is a sub-space field reducing inertial mass :)
- lovegoblin 6y agoOh I know. I wasn't disagreeing haha
