[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Let me first say that I have no idea why I am posting this... the entire topic is stupid. Placement of warp nacelles does not change how they work. The warp field encompasses the ship and "squeezes" it forward... thus a pushing action. -- There is no pull. A warp field flipped around doesn't pull a ship, it pushes it in reverse. But this entire thread goes to a a root problem. WARP NACELLES DOESN'T CAUSE PROPULSION! It's the Warp Field they create. Wake up, it's not the Engine, it's the explosive force of a gasoline-air mixture pushing a piston which rotates a crank shaft which turns an axle and wheel. Nacelles are necessary, an Engine is necessary, but it's not the propulsive force. The statements of front and rear drive don't apply to nacelles. If you are in a front drive car the wheels spin towards the front of the car, it's the same way in a rear drive car. THE FORCE IS THE SAME. A ship with nacelles up front create a warp field with the same shape [and thus same dynamics] as a ship with nacelles in the rear. Warp fields can only push, they can push you forward or even push you in reverse [given the right conditions]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
