[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] That sort of thing was also proposed by Eaves in the early Sovereign concepts. Not a bad idea, unless the design turns out to look like a chicken as well. :) If VP nacelles move, it'd peobably be along the same lines as Voyager, the Scimitar, etc. The Norway's VG nacelles supposedly move on rails - but I'm not proposing the entire nacelle moves like that. Try this - imagine the Sovereign class, with nacelles that are about 2/3 the current length. It goes to warp, and the whole pylon moves the nacelle down somewhat to clear the bussard collectors. At the same time, the nacelle opens up and extends to full length, moving the second set of warp coils into "extended cruise" position. Two very small nacelles deploy from the dorsal aft saucer on angled pylons. And finally, the deflector moves from a near perpendicular position to something more angled. I'll try to demonstrate this on a profile view of a Sovereign, when I get back home after Sunday... Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
