ST:TWOK
Just after Spock mentions Kahn is inexperienced and thinks in two dimensions. Kirk orders "Z minus 10000 meters, stand by photon torpedoes."
Do you have information on the Z-Axis?
COL Doyle
What you're referring to is Thruster Maneuvering, which will also be part of this page. As I acquire more information, it will be added so I can create the Maneuvering/Nebula Warfare course I was telling you about.
When talking Thrusters, that's when you get into the X, Y & Z Axes. When talking Three Dimentional Compass Navigation, the X, Y & Z Axes get reduced to simply "Bearing" and "Mark".
Without checking my Manuals and just off the top of my head...
I may have the X and Y axes reversed, but (I believe) the X axis is moving Longitudinally (straight forward & backward) using Fore & Aft Thrusters. (I think) the Y axis is moving Horizontally (sideways) using Port & Starboard Thrusters. Plotting "X plus Y" together might give you a relative "Bearing" like plotting X + Y on a piece of paper lying flat on a table.
The Z axis would be Vertically (straight up & down) using Dorsal & Ventral Thrusters. Plotting Z together with either X or Y might comprise "Mark" Like sliding a vertical piece of paper through the X/Y piece of paper and plotting Z + Y, or Z + X. Like I said... I need to dig out my manuals.
I just found these pics for course plotting today and I'm looking for more pics and information in order to complete it. I still need to dig out my TNG Manual & Encyclopedia, which has most of what I need.
