Topic: Klingon BOP warp nacelles?

The warp nacelles are supposed to be on either side of the impulse engine, according to the Fact Files. They also say that the ship would be more maneuverable if the nacelles are closer together, although I believe quite the opposite.

Looking at the aft view of a BoP, I see the large red warp engine. I don't think it has nacelles in the traditional sense that we think of them. Below the red warp engine there's a row of small white-ish yellow boxes which I believe to be the impulse engine.

That would be more consistent with the Okudagram that shows only one row of warp coils. Then again, the aft hull of the BoP is a mess in any case. One has to have a big cargo bay with room for two humpbacks, a warp engine, an impulse engine, an aft boarding ramp, landing legs, wing hinges, a transporter room and a main engineering room somewhere... And all these for the small roughly 80m (or even 60m going by the forward pod mock-up) BoP of ST3/4! For some ships, an aft-firing disruptor or torp launcher as well.

Packing it all in would be a masterpiece of starship design to say the least. Or require TARDIS technology.
