[QUOTE]Originally posted by Starship Salvage Ops: [QB] [QUOTE]...Also, the TM passage does not state that single and multiple nacelle ships are worthless; it simply states that the dual nacelle design is optimal for power generation and vehicle control. There may very well be applications where an odd number of nacelles may be more practical, but these would not normally apply to long-term, day to day operations.[/QUOTE]I was hoping someone would mention this. It may be that a three nacelle design requires quite a bit more power generation for a marginal increase in speed or manuverability, but certain situations or mission profiles may require the addition of the third nacelle at the expense of energy. It is alot like APO telescope apertures. A 1" increase in objective diameter can cost thousands of dollars for a slight performance increase. [/QB][/QUOTE]
