[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: What sort of damage did the nacelle take? Could it be that the heroes just moved five coils out of fifteen in the starboard one to replace the ten destroyed port ones? :) I like the concept of "limping on one screw", but there are other ways to interpret this one.[/QUOTE]Think TNG's "Cause and Effect" in terms of damage, only a little more restricted in scope because the ship wasn't already hit by a total systems failure like the E-D was... Here's the scenario -- there were two Xindi-Reptilian warships circling like vultures. One of them connected to the NX-01's starboard docking port to board the ship, while the other one kept firing from afar. An exploding console killed Mayweather before he could utter one line in the episode, and T'Pol took the helm. With the Xindi ship still docked, she deliberately rammed the attached ship into the other one, causing major damage to both and effectively ending the battle in the Enterprise's favor. Except for the fact that the starboard nacelle was half-destroyed -- the bussard collector shredded and a long, deep gash torn into the outboard side of the nacelle. Your scenario about swapping out warp coils sounds plausible... except for the unfortunate fact that Tucker explicitly mentions "running on one warp engine." (And he forgets the difference between a "nacelle" and an "engine," but we can forgive him since Earth was about to be destroyed. ;) ) [/QB][/QUOTE]
