[/i][/QUOTE]It's a turn signal. I always liked the warp bustle idea. One of the cool things about your site is that technology evolves. Things are actually different, from one time to another, beyond just getting bigger and faster. It adds realism. (Insert criticism of "Enterprise" here.) On the other hand, because of my background in historical costume, the [i]term[/i] warp bustle always makes me picture the ship with a giant Farthingale hoop skirt wrapped around the secondary hull, streaming behind it. I just had a thought... I recall reading somewhere that the CVN-65 [i]Enteprise[/i], America's first nuclear carrier, had two big fission reactors, but that the [i]Nimitz[/i] class ships had several small ones. Wouldn't it be cool to extrapolate a similar evolution on Star Trek? Instead of one big warp core, eight little ones. It would provide some redundancy in combat, too. Something to think about, for you guys designing post-Dominion War starships. Marian [/qb][/QUOTE]CVN-65, at least when she was completed, had 8 reactors of the same basic type used by early nuclear subs (Westinghouse). The Nimitz class carriers use 2 reactors that I believe were designed specifically for them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
