Yeah, since the scene before that showed it firing upwards from the engineering deck, then we cut to it firing sideways.Lazar wrote:That's one of the reasons why I'm desperate to see some cutaways or cross sections.LaughingCheese wrote:Also, what's with the warp core being multiple segments, and shot out the back instead of downward vertically?
I'm all for a good action flick, but I do wish they would put slightly more thought into the design of the craft?!?
ROFL!!! That's hilaroius.GrahamKennedy wrote:There was a big argument about whether to show the Sovereign warp core ejection in Insurrection. Apparently they say that whilst ejecting the core downward makes great engineering sense, it tends to come across on screen rather as if the ship is dropping a giant turd. I guess they decided to try doing it upwards!
Where did you hear that?
Yes but its ANTIMATTER we're talking about here, I think that's the reason most starships only have one core, even though I totally agree on the redundancy issue, I'd think its far too dangerous with an M/AM reactor.I like having multiple cores - always wanted to see that in a starship, I even did drawings of a Defiant engine room with twin horizontal cores once. It makes perfect sense - redundancy, ability to weather battle damage, all that good stuff.
