Hmm, interesting. We go from whole starships to a rather important piece of their construction going forward. Let's hope that Mosi Sukuda gives us a little bit of help here, because we might need it with Yoyodyne being at the fore of the design process.



So, with both these designs comes some interesting choices. On the one hand, we can go with old reliable and ensure that there is one less potential point of failure and, as noted above by @Fouredged Sword, we retain the classic TOS red domes.

On the other hand, even with the added mechanical and technical complexity, the higher warp ceiling presents some great potential for the field-focused injectors, not only in sprint times for rapid responses, but also in higher cruise speeds for longer legs in general.

At the moment, though I'm a little addled by sickness, I'm leaning towards the prototype roll here, pending any further argument.

Side note: It's a lovely TOS design display that Sayle's cooked up for us.

Faster speeds... When the density of space matter is higher. Not faster speeds generally.

It really is.

I've always wondered about why exactly in-universe the federation decided to go and replicate the aesthetic of retro sci-fi, there's never really been a satisfying explanation, looking at the TOS enterprises internals makes me hungry for some reason; I think its the bight primary colors being used. :V

Voting for everything that lets us go faster. And if not every dice roll works out, well. A nacelle is way cheaper than an entire starship.

Here's hoping having an omake character in Yoyodyne grants us a little luck here.

We're already at C+ complexity and I'd rather put prototyping effort towards increasing our min/average warp speed than our maximum

Got to be consistent with the Starfleet design philosophy, which is over-engineered, over-cost, and dependent on Starfleet engineers who can turn rocks into replicators to keep it all from exploding.
