All Scale Trek

another 1/1000th scale tos 1701 kitbash

That looks like a fun ship.

Now if the m/am rectors were in the nacelles, would it be more powerful because there were 4, but would require more fuel so it would have a shorter range? Pros: Fast. Powerful. Cons: Short range. Crew size for maintenance/ operation

Or if the m/am rectors were in the hull, would it be slower, because it had to feed 4 nacelles, but would be fast, because of the extra coils? But again, fuel... Pros: Fast. Cons: Fuel. Short range. Crew size for maintenance/ operation

I always figured the four nacelle designs were for range and reliability. They are more expensive because of extra nacelles, but use their nacelles lightly.

i have a feeling the other two could be back ups if the main 2 went down but could also be utilized to give a faster warp speed if need plus the 4 nacelled ships are a rare there are only a few different starfleet ship designs with 4 nacelles the nimitz class the cardanes class the constellation class and the prometheus class that is it almost every starfleet hip has two nacelles there are a few with one nacelle
