After watching YouTube follow-up videos, I stand corrected. I also remember the Capt. Freeman line about ships coming out of spacedock looking like a Sovereign-class.
It would make sense to upgrade the Excelsior-class nacelles over the years. When you think about it... "Oh cool, it's the late 24th century but you're using nacelles from a century ago. Try to keep up. Also my grandpa played jacks behind the soda shop, when you're done taking us to warp you should join him."

Not sure why the double post... MOD!!! I NEED A MOD. DELETE THE DOUBLE POST! Now! It will give you butthole herpes if you don't. You don't want that. Imagine a Taco Bell shit times 90000.... that plus one.

Once again, I have to state that what nacelles look like on the outside has nothing to do with drive capability. It's just a housing & cosmetics play no part. It's what's inside that matters.

So just a fun note: but currently on Paramount+, this episode is listed as "First Contact" and not "First First Contact." (The title card remains correct).
