"We need more power! What can you give me?"
"Uhhh... if we get all of the shuttles and EVA suits out pushing I guess that'll technically be more power?"
"How much faster will we go?"
"Literally not at all, due to warp mechanics you told me not to mention again. Might make you feel better, though."
Great post, thanks 😅
That is a good episode idea. Their warp engine dies, so they have to send a shuttle to go get parts to fix it. In the mean time, they jury rig the remaining shuttles life support into the main ship and put as many crew members in medically induced comas as possible to reduce the load on it.
Now I want to see shuttles ducktaped to the engines outside.
A mashup of VOY:S07E24 (Warp core ejected and stolen by scavengers) and VOY:S04E25 (Seven in charge while crew in stasis)?
It works in Kerbal Space Program, it should work for real!
Reminds me of the Scott Manley video where in Kerbal space program he explored the idea of a stranded spacecraft where the astronaut joking asks if it'd help if he got out and pushed.
