[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Nice to have the annotated drawings. I was fearing for much more extensive hull alterations. Moving the nacelles and adding the pylon phasers is a refit that could plausibly be done. Perhaps the nacelles simply were in the wrong position to begin with (if we assume that warp geometry computational modeling is as difficult to do then as aerodynamic computational modeling is now). As for moving the citadel of an Arleigh Burke or altering the facet tilt, funny that you should mention this specific class. After all, the Block IIA changes to the design more or less amount to that very thing! Not that any single Burke would be changed from Block I or Block II to this standard, not under current budgetary plans anyway. But such a refit could plausibly take place. And if you add the aft hangar, you *have* to move the forward superstructures to avoid obscuring the aft SPY-1 arrays. One could perhaps infer a similar relationship between nacelle positioning and torpedo launcher positioning. I'm a firm believer in the separation capabilities of the Sovereign class, even in this "reinforced" variant. Any ship with a saucer IMHO has that saucer solely for its ability to act as an atmospheric lifeboat. The Intrepid is atmospheric-capable in itself and needs not separate, of course... Those neck braces can probably be severed explosively or something. Frankly, it gives me a warm feeling inside to think that Starfleet actually built a ship they had to extensively revamp and rebrace in order to make her properly spaceworthy...
