:I've put my two cents worth here, but the gist of it is that I believe it to be merely an accelerator. Given the sheer scale of space combat, a ship would need to accelerate rapidly to close with the enemy, deccelerating to engage. This is what I believe is happening. I don't know whether it would be supermuminal velocity, or if it needs to be, but it makes sense - ships support and launch the fighters/dropships, the individual craft use their impulse drives to reach the target and retreat/withdraw if need be, keeping the ship out of danger and allowing the singleships vast range. Slipspace doesn't need to be involved at all. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 18:11, 17 November 2010 (EST) | :I've put my two cents worth here, but the gist of it is that I believe it to be merely an accelerator.

::Exactly, someone should either change this page or find some proof that impulse drives do use slipspace.--[[User:Tentacletornado|<span style="color:green">'''Tentacle'''</span>]][[User talk:Tentacletornado|<span style="color:gold">'''tornado'''</span>]] 13:34, 19 November 2010 (EST) | ::Exactly, someone should either change this page or find some proof that impulse drives do use slipspace.--[[User:Tentacletornado|<span style="color:green">'''Tentacle'''</span>]][[User talk:Tentacletornado|<span style="color:gold">'''tornado'''</span>]] 13:34, 19 November 2010 (EST) | ||
