[QUOTE]Originally posted by Makotokat: [QB] Masao as always impressive! Rev's schematics are wonderful. It almost looks submarine-like! Have you considered a bussard collector mounted on the engineering pod, drawing from either side of the fin? That would allow the tender to cruise near gas giants to fill up it's tanks to refuel destroyers on patrol. As far as the centreline nacelle, I designed a freighter along your SFM designs and used the single centreline nacelle as well.... My reasoning: The first warp experiments and warp ships would use ONE nacelle as a starting point. It simplfies matters enormously. You don't have to split the runoff of the warp reactor....no pilons needed, just a radiation splash guard at the rear of the ship....the whole nacelle/warp engine assembly can safely be disposed of out the rear of the ship in case of an overload. While two nacelles would allow greater control and higher warp speeds, a single nacelle would be simpler and easier to control for freighters, colony ships or even fleet tenders. Might be slower, but probably cheaper as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
