[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE]Then again, just because the 23rd century shipwrights might have been able to build ships that separate and reattach doesn't mean they would want to. Even in the 24th century, this capacity is considered a novelty, and a curiosity of little operational value. [/QUOTE]Why do you say this... we never saw every mission of the E-D - and well it's separation/reattachment did happen in 3 years, 3 times more than the E-Nil. Riker certainly knew how to easily reattach the saucer section in E@F - he must have had some experience. There is not enough evidence to say that Attachment/separation is NOT widely used in Fed ships! The other ships that we've seen lots of - Voyager, Defiant, Runabouts, E-Nil don't have this capability. The E-B might have been the first to employ the reattachable saucer... and then maybe it wasn't THAT feasible so it wasn't used all the time - so that's why we got the normal Exxies through TNG. The extra set of impulse engines do remind us of the E-B's extras... and they were for the most part on all the time (i.e. mostly during the Dom War.) Even if they are glowing, that doesn't mean that they are being actively USED. 3/4 depends on how you count the original set seems to be explained away by the saucer separation propulsion system rather then just for the sakes of being more power You can only really get to like 3/4 c using them can't you? After that you have to jump to warp. [/QB][/QUOTE]
