[QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [QB] I found an interesting passage the other day while doing some research for a friend about warp drive in the TNG Technical Manual. I realize the info is only semi-canon but much of it made it into episodes after it was published. There's a passage in the warp drive section that caught me off guard that gives a date to the active service of ships hinted at in TMP; mainly the Columbia, Revere and Entente: [QUOTE]"In 2269, experimental work with single nacelles and more than two nacelles yielded quick confirmation that two was the optimum number for power generation and vehicle control."[/QUOTE]This happens at the conclusion of 1701's mission before refit and as such happens before TMP. So it could mean that the three starships I mentioned above were relatively new designs at that time. I know this will burst into wild discussion one way then the other, but I thought I'd share the quote anyway. Okuda and Sternbach may have had a reason for choosing a date of 2269 instead of using any other date that they could have gone with. [/QB][/QUOTE]
