Yes. I figured that we're still in the in between phase of Disodium working it way down to Starliners.

Also, the Kongo has been in operation as a museum ship since a long time before Disodium

DiSodium was almost 40 years ago. There are still a lot of DiLithum ships doing short haul or not time sensitive hauls. However in the Federation you can get a sizable ship for a song. If a liner was not covertable it got put aside for not being economical.

The main thing slowing down everyone having it is finding DiSodium. The builder methods for making DiPotassium work for DiSodium too.

No Sir! The thread where it was invented was ... maybe eight or ten years ago. It's not that old yet.

Dilithium only ships are being retired to rear echelon duties until the hulls are used up.

Although you'd think slow liners would fade away like ocean liners in the 1950s - the fact that there are always more places to go mean that old, slow boats can find routes that need a ship, even if slow.

The main trunk routes would get new Disodium liners first and then more and more as they're built out.

But on the frontier - you can FIND things to do with a Starliner. Especially if they're selling cheap. Science missions will be sitting pretty.

Disodium was about 2380. It's 2410. We have been doing this twenty years.

I don't think it was that early. I think it was 10 to 15 years ago

The warp scale page was created in 2009. A shift from a like page on my website. As I remember it it has been 30 years since the DiSodium breakthrough. Verification will take a search through the Yahoo archive.

One of the first things Hailey did was to canvas for the transfers that got the scientist there to start with. The breakthrough was shortly after that.
