Look, I hate to be That Guy, but ffs the word is canon. Two N's, not three.
A cannon is what you use on a battlefield. It was an artillery piece commonly used when Napoleon was alive. Also used on old wooden sailing ships when guys Nelson were Admirals.
Canon is what nerds fight over on internet forums. It is also a religious term too.
when i want schooling i go to it not take it from some one over a keybord if you cant take my spelling get over your self and dont look at it
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
This is why I love Star Trek, but hate trek fans....canon this canon that....Canon to right of them, Canon to left of them, Canon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.....got sidetracked
The excelsior can go warp 12/14 I'n strict cannon approved
By gene r
The Gal X can go warp 13 I'n TNG Cannon
Deal with that !
Who's the trek Fan. Lol
It's been stated in various sources that the warp factor scale was recalibrated by the time of TNG. The TNG Technical Manual actually gives a detailed explanation of how warp factor is calculated as a function of energy required to reach certain speeds, and how this differs from the way it was calculated in TOS. The new scale has an exponential growth curve that, after about Warp 8 or 9, hits the crook of the "hockey stick". Warp 10, clearly stated several times in the show itself, represents infinite speed at infinite energy consumption. It means you occupy every point in the universe simultaneously. Can't really go faster than that can you?
This means that going from 9.5 to 9.6 is a huge increase in speed, bigger than 9.0 to 9.1, and much, much, much more than 1.0 to 2.0. This also means as ships attain cruising speeds above Warp 9 (Galaxy-class cruising speed was around Warp 7 I think), you need to use more decimal places to accurately state your speed. That makes the system cumbersome.
Most future timelines in Trek recognize this as a problem, and feature yet another recalibrated warp scale to make higher speeds easier to work with. So when in All Good Things they're calling for speeds above Warp 10, it doesn't represent the same thing it did during the rest of TNG/DS9/VOY. Likewise with STO, we have a recalibrated warp scale that allows us to more accurately describe high speeds achievable with the game's advanced tech. When a Vice Admiral is flying around at Warp 10, that is not the same Warp 10 as in the TNG era.
Also, as has been stated on these forums before, "transwarp" has always been a very loosely defined term. Sometimes it refers to "go really, really fast" as in the case of the Excelsior's transwarp drive. Sometimes it means "hit Warp 10/Infinite speed" as in VOY: "Realtivity". Sometimes it means take a space bending shortcut as with Borg transwarp conduits (this last one is what we generally refer to as Transwarp in STO).
Basically, it means "do something you can't do with standard Cochrane-type warp drive."

Using the word cannon in place of canon makes you look stupid.
/rant
My bad that i didn't quote the earlier post where my reply was intended for. I'm definitely not pointing this at you.
I,ll be I'n my ready room checking out the fish

It has two of the most illiterate ******* to ever grace the internet.
You should both be ashamed of yourselves. Run spell check.
As for the canon debate... Seriously? That's what you're going to fight about?
Go play the game.
