[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] Well, the SIF is necessary to keep such an ungainly thing in one piece under any acceleration at *all.* Look at the necks on some of those ships, and at the proportion of some of those saucers to the rest of the ship - the inertial differences would rip it in half at even a hundredth of impulse power. I don't think warp speed puts too much stress on the hull, as long as the field is uniform - it's quite non-Newtonian, and I don't think any relativistic or 'real' acceleration is involved. In the case of warp, the nav deflector is the most important bit of hardware; a hydrogen atom at thousands of times [i]c[/i] will tear through a hell of a lot. [/QB][/QUOTE]
