[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] I am willing to bet that the nacelles are part new technology and part old technology. If you look at naval ships, most speifically the Iowa class battleships, their entire propulsion package is basically unchanged. Its because basically there is no reason why they should change it due to that the ships still have the same range, the same speed, the upkeep is the same. You don't fix something that is not broken. Only when the ships are extremely out of date such as sail power vs. nuclear power, when you replace the engine or replace the ship. Th is type of feeling is always felt through the naval industry because it is quite expensive to build a ship. If you look at it, perhaps the reason why Mirandas are in ad Constitution Type 2s are out because Mirandas are easier to build, fix, and cheaper to keep. The Excelsiors are just large in numbers and besides their combat abilities I can imagine these ships having semi-state of the art sensor equipment. [/QB][/QUOTE]
