      Perhaps you’re right.

        She was in that sailing scene in Generations, but by the time we first see them they’ve already sent her out to grab snacks for everyone else.

        “Ahead, impulse power.”

        “… uh, how much impulse – you know what, never mind.”

          Full ahead. Otherwise the order would be half impulse or some other quantifier.

            Ehh, shes right. On a naval vessel, you state the speed in the order. You dont want any ambiguity in ship movement, even mundane movements.

            “Ahead full” is the correct order for full speed ahead. They would need to say “impulse full” or “full impulse” if they maintain good naval practices.

              Although unlike a naval vessel, Starfleet ships have multiple engines for different speeds. You don’t want the pilot to be confused and rack the ship up to Warp cuss when you wanted full-impulse only.

              It is also possible “Impulse speed” is a standardised speed in its own right, similar to how someone might say “object approaching at warp-speed, on intercept course”.

                Impulse velocity is definitely a standard. That’s why they sometimes say half impulse, or other variations. They do say full impulse sometimes, but, IIRC, mostly when they have been, or are planning to move at various levels of impulse

    My D&D character can connect a limited number of people telepathically for a certain amount of time. Less people than we have in our party. It always feels like selecting an away team when I do it lol
