    The scale changed from TOS to TNG. Then in All Good Things which is the only other time we’ve seen it presumably they changed the scale again.

        Nah AGT and Picard don’t happen in the same timeline. AGT was some sort of alternate timeline. But the events of the Prime timeline diverge enough from the AGT timeline that it makes more sense that the new warp scale was unique to the AGT timeline and didn’t happen in the Prime.

          They certainly exist separate of each other. That we all have to call into question the timelines is half the fun.

          Concerning times they exceeded warp 10 in TOS:

          • “By Any Other Name” - ROJAN: And we’ll go faster yet. Increase speed to warp eleven.
          • “The Changeling” - ENGINEER: It just won’t stop, Mister Scott. Warp eleven!

          The narrative awareness and scaling has changed over time. I imagine largely due to people like us.
