The budget, she weeps!
Yoyodyne Contractors:
But hey, this is what we did for Project Ambassador, and it somehow worked out!
I realise I said like two pages ago that we could keep the nacelles standard, but... shiny.

Higher cruise, maximum, and extra impulse?

The advantages here are a lot more compelling than we typically get from a prototype nacelle. That's what convinced me in the end.
Even if it increases the manufacturing cost... we went bleeding-edge on the Ambassador, and that became a solid heavy cruiser for the fleet as the technologies became cheaper to produce. So it might be a more longtermist option.

We get some really impressive torpedo designs.
I would rather test it on a class that we have enough coverage from other ships in the same role than on the Sovereign which already has quite a few prototypes and is something we want to perform well and be produced in enough numbers to make an impact in any conflict

Grrrr. Curse you salient reasoning!

One of us! One Of US! In Yoyodyne we Trust
All jokes aside the impulse thrusters on the more sturdy struts do it for me. Just think about how Fast/agile she can be!

We just gotta do our best to avoid the Voyager J timeline.

Yoyodyne is going to cone through for us this time.
Trust.

Of course then Yoyodyne decided to confuse the matter by making their new option give space for more impulse engines, and thus more tactical... If it works of course.
I guess it's things like this that makes people let them get away with it every time, the shinies of having ones cake and eating it too.

No quad nacelles? Shame.
Yeah, I ain't touching Yoyodyne any more than I have to on this ship, we've still got any tactical Prototypes in the Phases and Quantum Torpedoes to worry about. We sure as hell don't need to slap an (Experimental) on this ship two.
I'd like this ship to be a actually produced in some numbers please, give the SDB another Excelsior-style win on something that's not the dinky little ball of murder and not much else called the Ushaan.

Would that count as putting an entire ship in a redshirt?

I'm still surprised it managed to get a third production run, myself.
