[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Riker once said that he *didn't* want to separate because they could use the power from the saucer's impulse engines - probably for weapons, but possibly also for maneuverability (can anyone quote the line from BOBW Part One?). Later GCS appearances always show those engines lit - simple physics shows that the location of those engines would make yaw turns a heck of a lot easier. They were probably using it for extra acceleration and maneuverability - seven years of TNG amply proved that one engine was enough for speed, after all. Then, we have the "Sternbach Galaxies" that left spacedock mostly empty and loaded with extra weapons, consisting most likely of additional torpedoes or phaser capacitors or tactical sensors or similar doomahickers that didn't break the profile. Also, most of the Galaxies seen in the Dominion War had no name or registries (which Sternbach attributed to these patch jobs). It's also entirely possible that these starships didn't have full bridge modules installed and relied on some BB module in the middle of the ship. ;) Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
