[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shakaar: [QB] Intrepid class raises them up when it goes to warp so the rear of the nacelle clears the top of the shuttlebay. The Defiant is something different... I ponder that this principal of warp, has been forgotten since it was created- course it did give it its name... With the Defiant I like to think it was actually a quad nacelle in disguise- that to get around the warping between the nacelles, they created it so that there were dual components in one side, and that is warped between the two halves and pushed the vessel that way. It does allow for a much more tucked in design better for a war ship, and Sisko did say that the design of the warp drive made it so powerful it nearly tear the ship apart in testing- I find that to be an illogical statement if it were a normal dual nacelle. 1) The Federation should have the know-how to build a starship of that size with warp drive that does not tear itself apart, if it were normal. 2) It takes many fold the power the travel at warp than it does to wage war- the warp core never pulsates quickly when they are in combat as it does when the ship is even at low warp- thus it is not logical to design a vessel with a more powerful warp core than what it needs to travel at warp, if it were normal. 3) The Defiant is a single hull vessel, it should be able to withstand the most hull stress out of any Federation vessel, and the fact it was greater in strength and had problems is a point of curiosity. 4) We�ve now been told of the Defiant�s super powerful warp engines, and also taking into account the much lower mass of the vessel- we discover it is really quite slow compared to normal Starfleet vessels. This is what leads me to believe that either: A) It�s a quadcore and each side warps space between two parts, in a small enclosed space, and that both sides then push the ship forward- it is more protected, but comes at a cost because it takes more power to get speed out of this system because there really should be greater distance between the two parts to work at peak effectiveness, and to make up for this they dump more power into it to get it up to normal speeds. B) Sisko & Starfleet committed several errors in the design of the Defiant. [/QB][/QUOTE]
