Ok, I am a bit confused. What are the warp nacelles types, like LN-64 or LN-68? I just need a discription. (*gack*hack*pictures*hack*gack*hack*)
Thanks.
(Good lord, this is my 504th post!)

I'm currently reading the Bridge Commander manual again (see my latest topic). They have a tech breakdown of each clss in it. Here's what they say about engines (I think parts were adapted from the Starship Spotter as well as the DS9TM allthough I also think the DS9TM didn't name the engines):
Akira: 2 advanced linear Warpdrives, Type LF-35 Ambassador: 2 Matter/Antimatter-Warpdrives, Type LF-10 Mod 1 Galaxy: 2 advanced linear Warpdrives, Type LF-41 Nebula: same as above Sovereign: 2 advanced linear Warpdrives, Type LF-44

I don't think any canon or, er, semicanon source has ever given names to the nacelles. I couldn't tell you the original source for your two numbers, but they have a long fandom history.

See my equipment listing.

Any pictures needed...?

If you want to.

Pictures of what? The nacelles? Schematics? On-screen? Models? Cut-aways? Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on July 12, 2002 10:43 AM:
Remember...an engine is not a nacelle. Core upgrades, coil swapouts, new injectors, new plasma conduits, realigned dilithium matrx--these these all add up to improvements & changes.

The nacelle.

They don't have two warp drives. The Warp drive is the entire system from the Matter/Antimatter Reaction Assymbly [and it's sub-systems leading back to the fuel tanks] to the Nacelles.
Depending on which way you look at it you can say they have two warp nacelles [which isn't exactly correct, the nacelle is the physical structure not the drive.] What we really need is an easy term to describe a set of warp field coils.

"What we really need is an easy term to describe a set of warp field coils."
What, like "engine", maybe?
Posted by J (Member # 608) on July 13, 2002 11:25 AM:
Engine and drive both concern themselves with the entire system, not the specific piece. "Warp Field Generator" does sound appropriate though...
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on July 13, 2002 07:03 PM:
The "warp drive" is the entire system. But it's generally accepted that a "warp engine" is the thing housed by the nacelle.
