[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] The first Four-Nacelled ship to be designed was the Constellation Class, right? Or was there a four-nacelled study version of the Excelsior made for Trek 3? Anyway...at the time the first four-naceller was built, I doubt anyone had really worked out the physics of it. They probably just did it because it looked cool (arguably). The Prommie has four (or six actually) because it seperates into warp capable sections. You could argue that the Constellation has four due to a different kind of engine design. I suppose it's also possible that four nacelles generates a more efficient warp field. May not make the ship more powerful (in fact it may even draw [i]extra[/i] power for the other two sets of coils) but may give it an advantage on speed or engine efficiency. [/QB][/QUOTE]
