[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] If we go by looks rather than by text references, the typically blue "deflector glow" seems to come from the dish in the refit Constitution, from behind the dish in NX-01, and I've heard a rumor that the TOS model was suppose to have a light source for the concentric rings (and for the warp nacelle inner flanks, basically TMP style) even if this was never used/shown. Treknology-wise, it sounds like a phenomenally bad idea to put *anything* in front of a deflector beam emitter. Putting something in front of your sensor apertures is also silly, of course - but at least it won't get that something blown to smithereens by superpowerful forcefields! Then again, we know that shields can be projected some distance away from the emitter. Perhaps the deflector beam emitter also generates the beam well ahead of the dish area, allowing other equipment to be placed between the emitter and its beam. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
