Quick question

How does the Sovereign class compared to the Galaxy class mass wise? Is the Sovereign going to be bigger or smaller in mass?

Unlike with other things, this says prototype but really reads more like its an updated iteration than a full on new engine set so I'm comfortable picking it.

Sovereign's actually lower mass I think, the Galaxy is built to effectively be a mobile space city with Five Year Missions as its primary role, while bringing most of the amenities of home along with you, while the Sovereign is built to be capable of Five Year Missions, but primarily exists to be the Last Word in terms of defense of the Federation.
 
Canon galaxy outmassed sovereign a decent chunk.

Good to know.

And with this in mind, as it does sound like we are just updating the engine instead of designing a completely new engine I will cast my vote as,

[X] Type-9B Engine (Prototype)

Cause the only thing more terrifying than a battleship, is a battleship that can chase you down.
 

The vote basically closes when I start drawing. This is the first time it's changed between that and posting.

We sacrificed Impulse performance by picking the slow saucer.

We sacrificed Impulse performance by picking the "safe" Nacelles.

Let us not sacrifice performance a third time. Especially since this is a incremental improvement using known technologies.

We can have a little engine prototype, from the people who don't keep blowing our ships up.

I experience great sorrow for the loss of the Yolodyne. Knowing them though, they'll probably still manage to screw up.
