Is there a website with all really nice schematics?? In colour. I've noticed there have been some new looking Miranda schematics around... they look a bit cartoonish - but nice... I'm guessing they're from the Fact Files?
What I've ALWAYS wanted to see were all the classes done in shcematics and ALL done in the same style - the thing with the Encyc, is that there are different looking styles - say between the E-D and the Norway...
That's why I hope Cap'n Amasov does as many in his own style as possible.

I think the new, 'colorful' Miranda schematic is from ST: The Magazine.. its got a real colorful rendering, and a more accurate view of the upper carriage than the common Okudapedia pic, but i find the nacelles to be inaccurate (especially since they felt the need to color them red and blue glow, which, with the exception of a couple in the Dom. War, no Miranda has ever had)

Look at the TOP of the nacelles... look at those 'rails' - like a rectangle on the top of each nacelle... I reckon this could be a form of 'variable geometry' nacelles... i.e. they could possibly move the nacelles forward or back along the tracks!!!! What do you think!?!
I'm just pre-empting the "where would the conduits go - when the nacelles are moving.
They might only move into a particular position and occupy that position for several months, say - instead of changing for every jump to warp. And like The seats on an exercise bike... the 'conduit/power' system might connect at different hardpoints... like where the 'peg' goes into the holes for the different heights of the excercise bike chair - the nacells can move forwards and backwards, and the conduits attach/open into the nacelles through those various circles we see there... That would stop something silly like having them ALL they way back and the 'pylon' connecting to the nacelle all the way down at the Bussard collector...
