I think it looks pretty good. I really like the interaction of the copper, gold, silver, and purple.<p>It would seem that there is a third level or at least a mini level beneath the main level of the engine room. Looking at the shape of the ceiling and how it transitions into the walls, it suggests that the engine room may be in the pod between the catamarans.<p>I think the two tubes shooting out the top of the core are supposed to be the power transfer conduits. If so and if the engine room is in the pod, those conduits are going to be almost W-shaped to reach the nacelles. Of course, those could just as easily be the flow tubes for the reactants. It's hard to tell just from looking at a picture.<p>I've staring at that Power Distrib marker for a few seconds now. It looks like the second word under Power Distrib could be Quad. It's definitely a four-letter word with the last two letters being A and D. The first word to me looks like it could be electrical or injector. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dr. Obvious</b> <br /><small>Member # 271</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,6,11,20,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 11, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:59 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Looks like OSHA got to Starfleet , that place is more accesable to the handicapped then the lobby at work. <p>So Many Railings...<p>As for the "Sub Deck" under the Warp Core , yeah i think i do kinda see a craw space , some kind of utility tunnel. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,6,11,22,37,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 11, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:37 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The first word under "POWER DISTRIB" is clearly "SYSTEMS".

Of course, that'll look really weird on film. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
