[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] The Norway-Miranda reminds me on something. A ship I've seen ages ago... hmmm... I don't know who said this, maybe it's totally unofficial, maybe it's from a canon source, but the NX-Excelsior had large-scale warp nacelles to fit the experimantal transwarp-drive. That was at least the basic idea for the fact that Excelsior's nacelles were heavily oversized compared with other ship/nacelle-relations of that timeframe. Later, when the drive had been removed, starfleet decided to continue using the large-scale nacelles allthough the standard-drive didn't need that much space (can't remember the reason, but it sounded realistic). Maybe we have the same here: the old nacelle housings are updated with newer engines. We're not talking abou some perfectly-fitting kitbashes here; the Galaxy-nacelles are not available in 20 different sizes for example. You have to decide which one to use, and maybe the nacelles you finally install are too powerful. Or you can't integrate them into the spaceframe because of their shape. Something like that. Of course if we look at some Wolf-kitbashes, the rule is broken several times (Niagara anyone?). But you can always try to rescale them to fit the shape. To clarify this, take the Galaxy-nacelles and add them to the Miranda (And don't change the scale). You will get some weired speedboat-mega-booster thing, but nothing that really fits the design.
