Makes me wonder why they didn’t make the ship strong enough that it was capable of sustaining 9.9. Also: they’ve broken the warp barrier like 2 or 3 times and the ship was fine. 🤷🏻♂️
That was a cool episode. I always get it mixed up in my mind with the episode where The Traveler spins them off into some nether realm and Crusher has to help get them back.

They did; it’s called USS Voyager. Its maximum sustained speed was warp 9.975.
It’s not super obvious on-screen, but the Intrepid-class was considerably faster than even the Sovereign-class (Enterprise-E), let alone the older Galaxy-class (Enterprise-D).

The ship, sure. Some crew members, however…

There’s one where Barclay turns himself into a supercomputer and breaks the theoretical limits. But, IIRC, it’s in one of the last couple seasons.

It was also significantly less massive. And like 50% if of it was dedicated to the warp system.
Think of a better ship to strand on the other side of the galaxy than the fastest conventional warp capable ship.
That Borg ship that can generate its own wormholes.
Voyager at least had the excuse of “we might run outta gas.”
because if it could constantly do 9.9 then it’s max speed would probably be higher
Well much higher and the crew turns to salamanders
They really lost me there. Everybody knows everything evolved into crabs /s
They shoulda made it out of the same stuff as the flight recorder, too
