[QUOTE]Originally posted by Captain Mike XLVII: [QB] i think the original design philosophy was that the nacelles acted as 'lightning rods' and that energy was supposed to be more intense (or even in an arc!) between them (the TOS 1701 had glowy-stuff exhaust grills facing inward towards each other, even if they werent lit as glowy parts most of the time), the 1701 refit continued this, the nacelles glowed towards the inside, originally storyboards were drafted to try and include arcs of energy FX [i]between[/i] the nacelles as warp was engaged, to show the audience why that space was left empty of ship components. if you wanted to honor the original philosophy, state that the space between UFP nacelle was where the warp field formed, radiating its waves of subspace distortion from the point on the arc between the two nacelles, then not that other engines have nacelles with blue glowy ports facing all different, but instead of being straight lines, the emissions are able to arc back on themselves, eliminating the necessity for nacelle line of sight (like the 1701-D's warp field comes from the middle part of the nacelles, each line of warp curves back in on itself to meet its duplicate from the other engine. deep.
