[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Irishman: [qb] It's not the vertical stacking that's canonical, it's two nacelles. There are no TOS era single nacelle starships.[/qb][/QUOTE]Buh? [i]Saladin[/i]? [i]Hermes[/i]? I do however agree that the one gigantic nacelle looks rather questionable. And BTW, in your initial drawing, you seem to have used the elevation view of the rear nacelle cap as a plan view, making it lopsided in your dorsal and ventral plans. While I don't lend any particular credence to Roddenberry's "rules" of starship design, I must say that the imbedded nacelle with no bussard ramscoop just doesn't sit right with me. For whatever reason, it has always been a distinct feature of SF ships to have both ends of the nacelle(s) exposed. There's probably some good reason for it. But even if not, it still seems to violate a basic aesthetic continuity. And the huge bulk of the thing makes it look even more ungainly. Why should it need to be so big? Not surprised at the suggestion of a ring-nacelle configuration, as one of my first thoughts was: "It looks like a [i]Surak[/i]!" :eek: -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
