Speaking of one's and zero's, look at that big fat zero for the number of posts. Oh wait, now it's a one.

What are the fins for?

Better yet, what are the Ms for?

The fins make it look a bit like one of those Nova prototypes...

Yes..er, oh no! A Nova-ized Intrepid!

I like that nacelle setup...I guess they are for support or something. (?)

If it is in the Nova tradition, the "fins" are another way to go about variable geometry nacellles.

I'm not quite sure, but it looks like the Nova class concept with variable warp field geometry. Still, I suppose, it's actually not meant to have foldable pylons, since the hinges seem to have been removed.

Damnit...5 people responded!

Umm...the nacelles are reworked to provide a more reliable drive source...extra impulse thingies...the M's are secret.

Anymore questions? I leave for 9 days tomorrow morning....
