      Eh, let’s swap air density for deflectors, and drag for the warp bubble.

      But… do you need deflectors at warp? Isn’t the bubble folding space around the obstacles you’d typically need deflectors for?

        Deflectors are for impulse speed are they not?

        Full Impulse is supposed to be 0.25c, at which speed i guess stuff starts coming at you pretty quick with no space time bubble to protect you
