[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mountain Man: [QB] The use of multiple nacelles was addressed early on in TOS novels. Three Nacelles proved to be very inefficent. Four were less efficent than two. Besides one of the larger battleships,at least one passenger liner used the three nacelle populsion. Four would allow for economy cruise using two at a time. All four could be used to pull heavy loads. The warp field which takes on the shape of the chest insignia used in TOS,requires a slight difference in the placement of each nacelle as viewed from the top. One must be slightly ahead of its opposite number. This came from one of the early models used in filming the obiting scenes. To give a better sense of perspective it was asymetrical. This was later used in a parody Star Trek theme song that mentioned how it looked kind of bent. In one TOS novel the Enterprize' ability to reach higher top warp speeds was traced to a warping of her frame work caused by an ION storm. This gave the nacelles just the right alignment that had eluded Star Fleet engineers for many years.P.S. very nice job on your designs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
