[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Exactly - endurance. Sternbach has said that using alternating pairs of nacelles can really help, with his quad-nacelled Nova/Pathfinder idea as mentioned in the DS9TM. For the Constellation, I'm guessing that this could be true (plus the redundancy) for the time it was created, as it was supposed to be a deep-space explorer according to most fan speculation. Later advances in nacelle design (Excelsior and later) could have eliminated the need for this redundancy and been more efficient at higher-speed endurance. This leaves the more recent designs (Cheyenne, Prometheus) to come back to the endurance/speed idea. The Prommie was supposed to be the fastest ship in the fleet, after all. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
