Ok, I am a bit confused.
What are the warp nacelles types, like LN-64 or LN-68? I just need a discription. (*gack*hack*pictures*hack*gack*hack*)

Thanks.

(Good lord, this is my 504th post!)

I'm currently reading the Bridge Commander manual again (see my latest topic). They have a tech breakdown of each clss in it. Here's what they say about engines (I think parts were adapted from the Starship Spotter as well as the DS9TM allthough I also think the DS9TM didn't name the engines):

Akira: 2 advanced linear Warpdrives, Type LF-35
Ambassador: 2 Matter/Antimatter-Warpdrives, Type LF-10 Mod 1
Galaxy: 2 advanced linear Warpdrives, Type LF-41
Nebula: same as above
Sovereign: 2 advanced linear Warpdrives, Type LF-44

I don't think any canon or, er, semicanon source has ever given names to the nacelles. I couldn't tell you the original source for your two numbers, but they have a long fandom history.

Pictures of what? The nacelles? Schematics? On-screen? Models? Cut-aways? [Confused]

Remember...an engine is not a nacelle. Core upgrades, coil swapouts, new injectors, new plasma conduits, realigned dilithium matrx--these these all add up to improvements & changes.

They don't have two warp drives. The Warp drive is the entire system from the Matter/Antimatter Reaction Assymbly [and it's sub-systems leading back to the fuel tanks] to the Nacelles.

Depending on which way you look at it you can say they have two warp nacelles [which isn't exactly correct, the nacelle is the physical structure not the drive.] What we really need is an easy term to describe a set of warp field coils.

What, like "engine", maybe?

Engine and drive both concern themselves with the entire system, not the specific piece. "Warp Field Generator" does sound appropriate though...

The "warp drive" is the entire system. But it's generally accepted that a "warp engine" is the thing housed by the nacelle.
