I just tried to Transwarp from the Sol system to Eta Eridani using my Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit and once the countdown hit 1 the nacelles started sparking with energy discharges and the ship made a sound similar to the original Excelsior in Star Trek 3 and my transwarp failed. I still got a cooldown but no transwarp jump.
It says it on the store ship description too, including the quote from Scotty "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to clog the pipes."
I believe it's a 1% chance of failure. I've been flying the Excelsior for months, and I've had one failed transwarp jump the entire time. It's funny when it happens though, apart from having to now fly all the way across the galaxy. XD

This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!
Happened on my very first Transwarp attempt in the T3 Excelsior. I was very annoyed and thought I was just scammed out of 1000 Zen. In the Excelsior R now and it hasn't happened since. :rolleyes:
Speaking of the Excelsior transwarps has anyone else lost the Zeta Andromedae transwarp from their T5 when discarding/reclaiming it to get the Tau Dewa Transwarp?

The tuffli on the other hand seems to fail for me at least once a day when I use it, maybe all those jumps I make every 4 minutes:D
Same here, must be those darn Ferengi supplied warp coils again
