[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [qb]Well basically I have to ask: Why would the nacelles need to look any different externally in order for them to be newer? I mean, all you really need to change are the field coils INSIDE the nacelles.[/qb][/QUOTE]True, but if you wanted to eliminate having to construct eight gajillion different versions of a warp coil, you might end up wanting to use, say, a New Orleans coil, which won't fit in a Miranda or Excelsior nacelle. There are several presumptions in what I wrote, such as the notion that warp coil manufacture is not something you and a couple of engineers do in a weekend, and the notion that there is meaning (i.e. "it's better") to the overall pattern of wider warp nacelles and coils (leaving out, for a moment, the Sovereign family of nacelles, which includes the Nova). After all, if there's no point whatsoever in swapping out the whole nacelle due to warp coils, why in the world don't all starship still have the round TOS (and, for that matter, ENT)nacelles?
