[QUOTE]Originally posted by esecallum: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] Yes, I was going to mention that link. One of the images posted there has a view of the new E, but with that awful 2ndary hull replaced by a more-TOS one: [IMG]http://img.trekmovie.com/images/st09/st09ent2_dbroad.jpg[/IMG] I think it looks a lot better, which leads me to conclude that for me at least it really is the 2ndary hull which is the problem, rather than the nacelles. [/qb][/QUOTE]As I revealed to you in an earlier post the reason for the nacelles and the support pylons being like this is as i explained before. EXCLUSIVE NEWS REVEALED ! I work for ILM. The reason for the nacelles and the support struts is that the nacelles rotate to alter the direction of the impulse engines which are housed inside the nacelles. In other words the nacelles vector the thrust from the impulse engines. This is why they are quite solid and much more robust or lumpy at the connecting points to the pylons as this houses the pivot mechanism which rotates the nacelles. I can reveal that a red shirt will get killed as he tries to repair a stuck pivot mechanism on one of the nacelles.I can even give you a part of the script. I hope this explains the nacelles and why the saucer is further back,this is to balance the thrust through the center of gravity of the ship thrust and make it look balanced when the nacelles vector the thrust. I hope this clears the confusion. If you have any other questions let me know and I will answer them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
