[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] I don't like the way the nacelles curve at the end there, but otherwise it's quite nice. I thought I'd mention something else that's bugged me about Treknology for awhile, using the Class 5 Type X21B as an example ;) Shields, nav deflector, warp drive, phaser arrays, pulse cannon, microtorps, and obviously inertial dampers, SIF, and artificial grav plating too (well, PROBABLY grav plating)...not to mention the ADIS, life support, comms, and sensors...all powered by a pair of eeny-weeny fusion microimpellers (or impulse reactors if you like). That's all very well within Starfleet tech, which is my point - the small ships, such as runabouts and shuttles, all seem to just have infinite power supplies! Shields, warp drive, and transporters in particular must draw a hell of a lot of energy, and you can apparently tack them onto a little shuttlepod that's so small you have to wonder *where the hell it all is.* (I'm thinking of the Shuttlepod...Onizuka? here...the little boxy thing from TNG that looked like it had maybe 72 cubic feet of space that wasn't passenger cabin for the engine and shields). They must have *massively* powerful fusion reactors to get that kind of power out of a reactor that small. I wouldn't know where to start calculating it, though. [/QB][/QUOTE]
