Now I am intrigued to see what 2.5 nacelles looks like...

I am assuming its the best of both, i.e. the extra little cannons and launchers etc?

Voted for the three nacelle version, I'm up for keeping the ship the same.

I prefer the three, but I am in favor of a compromise.  :)

I vote for a compromise along the lines of:

1) The nacelle replaced with a mission-specific pod
2) A crewperson (perhaps Lefler) wistfully noting the fact that the nacelle's no longer there. Just as a touch of respect.

Thanks,
Chris

I voted for two nacelles, albeit more powerful, but with the mission specific item where the third would have been.

The Excelsior could become the ship that Starfleet send into problem areas for troubleshooting missions.  More powerful engines, and enough equipment to make the A-Team a little excited.

It could also be a testbed for new equipment.

I'm agreeing with a few others here.

Go with 2 (albeit uprated versions) and a Mission Pod (similar to a Nebula class) where the 3rd used to be.

Could a smaller third nacelle be integrated into the saucer design? Keeping the lines similar (though probably streamlined), but giving the third nacelle an obvious purpose (warp capable saucer) while also updating the look of the ship overall...

I really like that idea and it you be a reason to have a third nacelle. The only thing would be to make it look good

okay that would just be cool.  Especially if we get to see shots of Excelsior seperating and both sections going into warp.

What about... 4?


No, listen for a sec.

the "Engineering" section of the Excelsior could be thicker, and there are only two noticable warp nacelles (as per normal) However, when "ludicrous speed" is required, two more warp nacelles can 'pop out' from the engineering section, their job being to create a warp bubble within the bubble, or in other words, allowing for much, much faster speeds over a short period of time, say.

You will need an indicator light.



I think that would be a cool effect to see additional nacelles popping out of the ship.
