[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] When DS9 started their Dominion War arc, it suddenly hit me that this could be the justification for the AGT Ent-D refit. Whether the war lasted longer in that timeframe, or whether Starfleet just decided to become more militaristic in later years, it might have been a good idea to start building "dreadnought" type warships. The Ent-D could have been a testbed prototype refit for the new design, just like the movie era Enterprise refit was a testbed for brand-new refit Connies to go into production. Of course, the only thing a third nacelle would be good for is to generate more power to weapons (like that big gun). I don't think there's ever been a rule stating that the more nacelles a ship has, the faster it goes. If that were the case, then wouldn't all starships have like 6 to 10 nacelles? As for the "warp 13" line, I think that was just nonsense implying that "hey, it's the future and we can go faaaasssster!!!" IMHO, I think that instead of making the future Ent-D into a dreadnoughted, big-gunned warship, they should have made it look old, run down, with unrepaired damage and possibly minus the saucer section, since old Riker does state that it's now an old ship he was able to grab for himself as basically a memento.
