[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] If it was a special-purpose deep-space troubleshooter, there wouldn't necessarily be many of them anyway. As for the middle section gettin' blowed up real good, that's a definite concern. As wild as it is to have the two sections with real nacelles be able to operate them in two different modes, why not a third where the top and bottom are the only available parts? Yikes. The ship would always need a Tau Ceti traveler to make the wavy rainbow ribbons do the right things. But, playing around with a SketchUp model I still have where the three parts can separate, there actually is overlap available . . . the 3-views of the CGI model seem to confirm this idea. (Note the overlap of the bottom section on the dorsal part of the top's blue-lit impulse deck). In principle, there could be sufficient room for auxiliary clamping. It isn't like we need to have much area available (cough TOS Constitution cough), and if there were special-purpose clamps needed for this . . . well, hell's bells, it isn't like this ship isn't already full of extraneous wanky crap. I mean, the ship would look dumber, what with a big missing triangular prism, and I have no idea how the turboshafts would work, but it could certainly be adequate for an escape of the top section without relying on those ridiculous pop-out mini-nacelles.
