Please reread. The ENTIRE point of this upgrade is that we DONT have to stop to use it, just alter course a bit to get closer and zoom on past at max cruise.

It is passive Science while the Federation does whatever else needs doing. Gathered in flight in interstellar space.


Also do not forget, telescopes can only do so much so quickly, and space is very. Very large.

Wrong. The ship is stopping to study things, but then abusing it's cruise speed to make timely delivers compared to other ships. Not what the Federation could actually accomplish when not tasked with random surveys

It's the exact type of possibly useful babble Sayle said to not dump useful features for imo.

while the higher cruise permits it to still arrive at its destination in a timely manner compared to other starships.

would then be able to gather useful data as it passes nearby otherwise uncharted systems or points of interest, while the higher cruise permits it to still arrive at its destination in a timely manner compared to other starships.

Even if it doesn't slow the ship to a dead stop* the implication of the wording here is that it will cause the ship to slow down considerably whilst using the spectral analysis. It will still slow the ship down, even if it's very high cruise means this slowdown will be less compared to other ships.

*Which it probably should, given concerns about red and blue shifting.
 
Antimatter range is usefull and making it so this ship can go max cruise instead of economic cruise everywhere is incredible synergistic with her nacelle cycling.
 
I thought the implication was that the Federation would need to veer off from the intended/optimized course in order to do interesting studies with the Spectral Analysis module. That is the starting point of their delays, if we take that module.
 
The crazy thing is that this ship has more than 85 percent of the Excalibur's range (with the Callie's tanks included) even before having extra antimatter tanks itself.
 
Belatedly, in relation to the skill levels in Starfleet, your daily reminder that a crewman on Voyager had five university degrees in theoretical cosmology and was just doing a year's placement to get into an even Higher level of higher education and study. That uh...didn't turn out great for him.
 
@Sayle would you just consider not having us vote on antimatter storage? The thread is never going to not take it when offered and it's really just frustrating at this point to see any other interesting possibilities instantly discarded by the range mafia.
