Let me butt in here for a second: that's assuming non-warped acceleration. Is there evidence for that, since the entire ship is warp-driven-- and so it should be a simple matter to warp-accelerate a torpedo?Picard wrote: If we take start speed as being 50 000 km/s (and speed in Wounded was yet larger) then it means ONE GIGATON OF ENERGY USED JUST TO FIRE ONE TORPEDO.
Which is equal to 10,288,065.85 G's-- sub-light!That gives us acceleration of exactly 362 962 963 km/h^2, or 100 823 045.3 m/s^2.
That gives us a glimpse into the sub-light acceleration capabilities of even Kirk-era starships: over 10 million G's!
