Hampering our ability to use torpedoes efficiently is a very bad mistake as it would restrict one of the key aspects of this vessels tactical firepower especially since four engines are actually not that expensive industry wise
 
[X] Four Engines (Medium Maneuverability, 23 -> 31 Industry)

Allowing for even more tactical flexibility is important, yes the argument could be made that it won't be with escort and so doesn't need it, but that argument carries no water with me.

It needs to be the best it can in a fight.

Also rather than scrap it, it can get a secondary hull refit like the otl NX for the warp7 engine

For me, it's what I take from the language of the update. The ship's maneuverability is talked about it terms of getting more hits with torpedoes and it's use after the war is over, not avoiding damage. I understand the argument you're making, and where it's coming from, but I don't agree it's enough of an issue to warrant the cost.

Or greater ability to control the battlefield. We just had the The Sum of All Fears update and what was Medium Maneuverability good for?

Allowing two NX ships to run point defense vs 8 attackers by using their full saucer coverage. People should be less defeatist. : p
 
I can't speak for other voters but the reason I'm voting for two engines is because I want to splurge on phase cannons.
I want this thing to be made out of guns! Battleship go PEW PEW PEW!

A massive upgrade in capability like this for only four industry? It's a steal.

We don't really need to increase maneuverability for the role, future-proofing for post-war is frankly unnecessary and not worth it, and I honestly want to save up to splurge on tactical options and an obscure number of weapons, especially since we'll be installing newly created "pulsed phase cannons, and experimental antimatter warheads" on the Bulwark.

Dodging incoming fire and having sufficient local tactical mobility is more important than being a gun-toting little-mobile target IMO.
