[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Chris W.: [qb]Amasov: Miranda's would've rec'd upgrades, no doubt, as they are one of the fleet's workhorses. Though I still think that the extra engines are VFX errors. And if they did indeed replace the SOLE two aft-photorp launchers, they would be lowering her tactical ability in combat. Not to mention, I'm in doubt that the pod has the space inside for an impulse drive. I know someone will mention the Nebula-class mini-drives now, though. Which is also a VFX problem me thinks. IMO, it's a VFX error, period. ;-) [/qb][/QUOTE]The aft end of the pod looks like the front end. So, either the guy who lightmapped the ship was blind or stupid or both there's no way you could confuse them with impulse engines. The other option is: whoever built the model a) didn't put any detail on the pod (which is hard to believe concidering the fact that the Starship Spotter ship was pretty detailed) or b) did indeed place a pair of impulse engines there, for whatever reason. Besides that, here's the first lesson you have to lean on this board: "There are no VFX errors, just lazy forum members." :p [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [qb]Also disconcerting would be the placement of impulse engines at that location. Beyond the whole issue of ships having impulse engines that are in weird places unrelated to any sort of center of mass or anything else, there's the simple fact that I would not want my impulse engines placed on such a spindly structure as the Miranda rollbar. [/qb][/QUOTE]They still have the second pair of engines, anyway. Furthermore, I'd rather have another impulse engine in that pod than a torpedo launcher with a stock of antimatter warheads. OTOH, with the engines in that pod, I doubt there's enough space left for a launcher or a single batch of torpedos. But hey, they obviously still have some unused space for torpedo launchers where the shuttlebays used to be. :rolleyes: (Concidering the fact that they also produced the infamous Barebone-Galaxys, there's no way Starfleet has the ressources to equip every one of the thousands ouf Mirandas in the fleet with Shuttles). :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
