[X] Field-Focused Bussard Injectors (+Complexity, +Warp Maximum) [Prototype]

It wouldn't be the Federation if it passed up a chance to overengineer something.

I say take the risk.

Since I don't want to replace the Expendable Red Shirt meme from "[Alien] of the Week" with "Nacelle malfunction of the [Episode]." {sarcasm} Because then that'd just be silly. {/sarcasm}

Increasing maximum speed by a bit doesn't seem worth the complexity. Especially when there's lots more choice coming in how the make the engine better.

Ultimately, I don't think the Field-Focused Bussard Injectors pop up until TNG or DS9 in canon - and honestly, I don't think they need to make an appearance early, because the Connie was great even with the classic strobe domes.

Okay, apparently I misread this:

Hypothetically speaking this could provide a further boost to maximum speeds at the point where incoming particle density is at its highest.

I was under the impression that the speed boost applied in regions of above-average interstellar particle density- nebulae or whatever. Will edit my post momentarily.

I still hate it- I still don't care about Max, and even if I did I wouldn't trade cruise endurance (from partial underway fuel replenishment) for it. But yeah, I had this one mistaken.

Always prototyping, all the time

Really no reason to not prototype as much as is possible.

We can't change the future. Fate has decreed what must be. :V

Fair. I think that's an issue with prototypes in general
