[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE][b]Originally posted by Lee:[/b] We should have a "Design the proto-Sabre before they do" competition or something. 8)[/QUOTE]Actually, I do believe that [URL=http://www.starfleet-museum.org/kestrel.htm]Masao already did that[/URL]! ;) (Although he told me that he hadn't yet seen the Saber when he first sketched out the Kestrel...) [QUOTE][b]Originally posted by J:[/b] Warp coils work efficiently when they are paired. There is nothing that dictates they have to be paired. The Asymmetrical part comes in with the warp field... it's like a triangle. The sides are symmetrical to each other but the front is wider than the back. Thus you can think of it as the back of the warp field squeezing the ship towards the wider front.[/QUOTE]Yes, that's what I'm talking about... but the warp field also needs to be symmetrical when you're looking at it from the TOP OF THE SHIP. With asymmetrical warp coils, you can't get the balance of the fields for the whole ship -- or you shouldn't anyway. I still think that something like that should tear the ship apart sooner than it would send them anywhere at Warp 1.7... [/QB][/QUOTE]
