[QUOTE]Originally posted by Commander Dan: [QB] I was recently thumbing through some tech manuals and blueprints and realized a few ships that have been seen in Star Trek do not necessarily adhere to GR�s �Starship Design Rules.� 1. Warp nacelles MUST be in pairs. 2. Warp nacelles must have at least 50% line-of-sight on each other across the hull. 3. Both warp nacelles must be fully visible from the front. 4. The bridge must be located at the top center of the primary hull. The �Future� Enterprise-D as seen in All Good Things violates rule number 1, as it has three nacelles. Yes, I am aware of the explanation that each nacelle has a pair of warp coils, but I find this to be a lame explanation at best. It seems that someone is simply trying to rationalize an otherwise �invalid� design. Besides, using the same explanation, one could validate (but not necessarily �canonize�) the odd-nacelle-numbered Franz Joseph designs, as well as others. The Defiant in DS9 seemingly violates rule number 2, as does the S.S. Aurora seen in TOS: The Way to Eden. So, I am wondering what other �Canon� starships, if any, violate the �rules.� [/QB][/QUOTE]
