[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I hate to break this to you, but there isn't a whole lot in Star Trek that is bound to solid engineering and physics principles. How would you explain the rationale behind using very thin structures to connect the two hulls on ships like the Constitution-class and Ambassador-class? How would you explain the rationale behind using very thin structures to support the massive nacelles on ships like the Sovereign-class? How would you explain the rationale behind putting the impulse engines is the same weapons angle as the warp engines on the Intrepid-class? You're inferring logical where there was none when these ships were designed by Jefferies, Probert, Sternbach, Eaves/Drexler/Zimmerman. For the most part, they went with something that looked good onscreen and then the details were fleshed out. Then the "science" of Star Trek was created to fill out how all of the fancy sci-fi stuff could work. [/QB][/QUOTE]
