Talk:Subspace communication

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

I am interested in the meaning of conjecture and subspace radio, it may sound profound but I believed that subspace relay needed to clean of conjecture to be considered communication.

I got to this page via the list of Promenade shops... perhaps there should also be a page with the title Subspace communcations (shop). Zsingaya 17:58, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Normal radio

At shorter ranges, normal radio signals can be used.

Anybody know what episode or movie that's from?

This could also use a proper episode citation: "By sending a carrier wave through subspace, the sender can transmit a signal faster than the speed of light, and at an incredible distance." --From Andoria with Love 08:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the normal radio thing is from the DS9 TM. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 12:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subspace usage

I would like to add the following information to the opening paragraph, but I need a few specific episodes of movies to reference. I know Star Trek II had the Grissom requesting suggestions, but I need specific references to SC ordering a starship via subspace and what-not. I don't really have the time to go sifting through all the episodes at the moment, so any help would be appreciated. --From Andoria with Love 21:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

In many cases, subspace channels were used by Starfleet Command to transmit orders to the captains of various starships. Likewise, those captains would use subspace to ask Starfleet for suggestions or to send requests or reports on their various missions.

[edit] Subspace radio's warp speed...

I read in a Star Trek Encyclopedia a long time ago that Subspace Radio travels at Warp 9.99995. In other words, it would only take 10 years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy. If my memory holds true, please add it to the article. Thanks. --129.130.38.117 21:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
