[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Yeah, the Excelsior could have been around for Geordi to be contesting it. The NX Intrepid could still be in space dock being built. Voyager would have been built along side the NX, just as the Galaxy, Yamato, and E-D were. Built around the same time, but finished differently. As for old nacelles. The shape of a nacelle doesn't matter, IMO. What matters is the refinement of the warp field coils, and the power they get. If you have crappy field coils, but you've got the best power system in the universe--- you're still going to be stuck at Warp 5. If you've got great field coils, but only fusion generators, you're still going to be stuck at around Warp 5. The Excelsior Class Intrepid could have some TNG-era warp field coils, and with some appropriate modification to the warp powerplant, it's possible that an Excelsior Class could have a theoretical or even efficiency competition with the Enterprise, but never a real world speed contest. [The Excelsior Class would probably shake itself apart at such a high warp speed.] [/QB][/QUOTE]
