Does diverting your power from Attack or Defense to Speed make a difference when you're travelling at warp between worlds and systems?

    Your shields shouldn't even be up at warp. That was patched in some time ago for some reason...

    No. Warp speed is affected by your warp core/singularity core's listed maximum warp factor and your Driver Coils skill.

    So was I. That has no effect on your sector space travel speed.

    And BTW, the tag just plain doesn't work outside the art forum.

    Yes, but I don't think that stuff affects sector space. I think I tried that myslef ages ago, but there was no difference. And if you pay attention to your power levels, you'll notice that in sector space you don't even have the bonus power enhanced by skills, Boffs or gear.

    Only the Driver Coil skill, with certain Engines* effects your speed at Warp.

    Power Levels have no effect on Warp Speed.

    And I think Engines should only effect sub-warp speeds and that the Warp Core should effect above Warp Speeds.

    *As far as I know only the Borg and MACO/Adapted KHG allow you to exceed Warp 9.97.
    I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. :confused:
    If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
    When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.

    Elite Fleet Engines do too. They have a lesser version of the MACO bubble effect.

    As do the engines on the Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer and Battlecruiser (same engine on both) as they are a variation on the MACO engine ...

    Why?

    Plenty of ships managed it on the TV show like the Enterprise D when the Borg were using a weapon to drain their shields while they were high tailing it away from them at warp in Q who?

    While Driver Coil skill does help improve warp speed in sector space. By the time you reach max level, it provides no benefit at least with normal engines (meaning not rep or fleet).

    My 1st toon is an Fed engineer and my 2nd toon is a KDF tactical. My Fed has 6 points devoted to Drive Coil while my KDF toon has 0 points devoted to that same skill. Both toons are currently max level and they both fly at warp 9.97. When I respec my Fed toon after Delta Rising is released I will not allocate anything to Drive Coil.

    Driver Coil is a skill that should be avoided.

    It provides little to no benefit except in Sector Space with certain Engines. Much better to get it from a Warp Core than to waste skill points on it.
