[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] Well, it may not be very simple. Pumping equal amounts of plasma into two nacelles vs three nacelles may produce very different warp field configurations. So depending on what you want to do three nacelles may be better or worse than two nacelles at the same power. Clearly the evidence says that for general purpose usage two nacelles is best, but for specialised purposes, one, three or four may be better. However, we've never seen five or more (the Prometheus doesn't count as it only uses four out of the six as single ship) so the cons presumably outwiegh the pros at numbers greater than four. Personally I tend to subscribe to a similar view to that given in ealier posts by several people. Three nacelles gives extra warp-speed manoeuvrability (and possible also ac/deceleration) but makes little difference to top speed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
