    TrekMaps update - Ultimate Warp Chart

    Howdy.

    Just a small plug for my TrekMaps site.

    I have just uploaded my Ultimate Warp Speed Chart (UWSC ) based off a wicked formula.

    Feel free to peruse it here:

    That's one cool chart, SirSig! Many thanks for sharing it!!

    Too bad I'm not a math theacher : this would be a great formula for the students to analyse

    That's a little bit strange. The first time I tried to open the file my browser crashed, the next 3 times the site asked for a password and user name, and just as I was about to complain here I was finally able to open it.

    But the file is really great! That's something I will never delete again from my hard drive.

    I also created an excel-sheet for warp-speeds, it is based on the same set of formulars.
    You can calculate the multiples of c for a given warp, the required warp-factor to reach a certain multiple of c, and you can calculate how long you have to fly with warp to reach a certain distance and so on.

    Thanks.

    I found Martin's website and formula a long time ago. But with my recent mapping work I thrashed out some math and found his formula was practically spot on. Thus the chart was born.

    If you follow the link on the end of the chart to Martin's website. You can find his java based calculator to use for your own data/results.

    Very nice warp caculator Assassin

    @SIR SIG
    It seems that we both stumbled upon the same site and both had the idea to make an excel-sheet out of it.

    This must be one of those great cosmic coincidences....

    Very nice, SIG.

    Had to run for a bottle of Tylenol as soon as I started looking over the equations.
