[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Defiant: [QB] ^^^That makes no sense to me^^^ Koy, until the ~word omitted~ posts, I like the thread. ;) Anyway, it's always easier to shove a guy down a flight of stairs than to pull him down one. That may or may not apply to Warp speeds, but I would figure that push is the optimum arrangement for a Galaxy or Intrepid Class. Since the bulk of the mass of the ship is in the saucer section, they only have to produce enough power to get to Warp 5, and then maintain a little less, like 4.5 because the mass of the saucer keeps it going at Wapr 5, dragging the ship behind. Like a fat guy falling down a flight of stairs will stop later than a thin guy falling down a flight of stairs. But the wieghing factor would be how big the nacelles were, because the more massive, it would give a bigger push. You can't really count the Intrepid Class on this, one because the nacelles are so dern small, and they looked like they would explode if the went to FTL travel. BTW, It always appeared to me that the Bellerophon had bigger nacelles that the rest, don't ya think? [/QB][/QUOTE]
