[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shipbuilder: [QB] Personally, I don't think it left the stardrive section vulnerable. The intention for even having the ship separate was so that the stardrive could go do battle if necessary. Generally, you don't design something to split into two pieces if there is a greater chance that when seperated you're going to lose one of those pieces. I've heard the 'more fusion/impulse reactors and more phaser strips' comments before but fusion and impulse power pales in comparison to the M/AM reactor power. More phaser strips doesn't mean more power, merely easier to hit off-angle targets...the battle section looked like it had ample coverage. Additionally, when separated the stardrive section can divert all its power to a smaller shield bubble. I just don't see the point designing a separating vessel unless its beneficial to you in a fight. This all takes for granted that the saucer is left out of the fight (as implied by its purpose, btw BOBW was a desperation move). IMO, I think one of the coolest opportunities that TPTB missed was showing the Odyssey separate and leave the saucer at DS9. [/QB][/QUOTE]
