That isn't a nacelle, it's directly a part of the main body.
It's only as much as a nacelle as the air intakes of pic related are.

Calling those things on the Defiant "Nacelles", would be like calling Galicia (The north western area of Spain specifically) a "peninsula".

>>80197409
Touch? In the most pedantic sense, no.
But those don't touch it. Those are part of the main body of the ship, and the dictionary definition of a nacelle, is that it is mounted (key word is mounted) on the main body, outside of it..

If its completely attached, it's not a nacelle. That's the reason the word even exists, to differentiate nacelles from things that are part of the main body.

>>80197350

>it's real

wtf

>>80195543
This wasn't best, but it was the cheapest way to produce ships with big guns. Its basically the whole torpedo boats vs. battleships dilemma of the 20th century, in which torpedo boats win simply by being easier and faster to build.

>>80197608
Well actually it is a battleship, most of their ships aren't because they have large crew quarters and civilian family members and lots of science labs and facilities and shit, their ships are just exploration vessels that happen to be capable of doing battle. The Defiant was made the singular purpose of doing battle with the Borg.

why were they both birds

>>80197882
how did aliens know what birds are

>>80197882
Klingon ships were originally supposed to be Romulan, but they didn't give a shit.

>>80197882

klingons stole design plans from the romulans

>>80197908
They don't really. The UT probably just approximates the word for "warm blooded avian like creature."

>>80197918
>klingons stole design plans from the romulans
>muh klingon honor

>>80197918
thought it was the other way around

>>80197995
The fact that both of them paint or engrave eagles/hawks on their ships in one era or another, is probably complete coincidence.

As is the fact that the UT managed to deduce in the very first introduction of the Romulan species, that their entire shtick is modelled after Space Romans, so it decided to translate their name to Romulans, with the clear intention that if their planet name is ever mentioned, it will translate it to Romulus, after one of the legendary brothers who founded Rome.

And again, the UT came up with all of this the first time it translated the word "Romulans".
Why the fuck don't the Borg just assimilate the Federation's UT software? Clearly it has the capacity to deduce entire civilizations from a few words spoken and a couple of mannerisms.

>>80198075
Klingon "honor" is literally just acting like a total faggot while using language that plays up whatever they're doing.
Just look at their overuse of stealth.

>>80197882
The Romulans had the Bird of Prey in TOS.

In the Search for Spock, the Romulans were going to have an updated Bird of Prey. But then a new script revision gave it to the Klingons instead, but without changing the name.

>>80197918

This is muddy, it has to do with production of the show and movies being ahead of shooting scripts. They just said fuck it and said klingons and romulans used to exchange ships/technology.

At some point romulans betrayed klingons, cause romulans are based as fuck.

>>80199137
>klingons
>having tech or ships to exchange
Man, I know people were high as fuck in the 60s but that's a little much.

>>80196231

If beaming torpedoes into ships was something worthwhile, they'd be doing it all the time rather than launching them.

klingons in the original series:

What happened to klingons?

Augment virus made them more human-like and therefore superiour. Curing it was a mistake (for them).

>>80199410

What did they mean by this?

>>80198121
Klingon Empire decayed and Worf is the only one who has any morals, the others are degenerate trash. It is a metaphor for China.

>>80199492
This was the only good thing continuity-wise to come out of ENT, but it was a good retroactive explanation for TOS Klingons.

This tiny ass ship is the testament that size is not that relevant it's Federation ship. Federation engineering is far superior to either Romulans or Klingons, as such they could produce a dedicated warship that's a fraction of the mass and cost compared to warships of other major species in alpha quadrant yet could go toe to toe with two more of and come out victorious.

What are you two on about?

>>80197241
The Bajorans never knew about the Cardassians though, the ones that left all died there and they didn't have radios to send the news home, that's why nobody off Cardassia seriously believed it until that episode.

>>80201137
Somebody must have gone home though, since the Bajorans had the legend.

>>80201115
You could've just googled "Jason Isaacs Star Trek", but fine, here comes the choochoo train. http://deadline.com/2017/03/star-trek-discovery-captain-jason-isaacs-cast-1202038246/

>>80201137
Not saying you're wrong, but how would the Bajorans have known they got to Cardassia, if none of the ones who did got back?

>>80200990
Why?

He's white, and that appeases /pol/.

And he's from Harry Potter and that appeases normal people.

>>80197858

It was the Bajoran equivalent of

>WE WUZ KANGZ

The Cardassians obviously knew it and covered it up, one of the people in-the-know could have spilled the beans during the occupation.

>>80201202
You can't appease /pol/.

>it's a strong black muslim transwoman
/pol/ is upset.
>it's a straight white male
/pol/ is upset that some [other website] boogeyman might be upset.

/pol/ will always find a reason to be upset.

See >>80201210.

>>80201208
>Everyone knows those aren't lasers
Do they?
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Laser

>>80201296
I think the rule was just that nacelles need line-of-sight, and the Defiant's nacelles have that because they are lower than the rest of the body.

>>80202049
how exactly do Star Trek shields work? Every time the ship is hit it looks like the entire inside of the ship is experiencing an earthquake. You'd think that would cause a good amount of damage

>>80197858
that is not how it happens.
We know this because of that time a ship opened laser fire on the Enterprise.

The ship's Yellow alert protocol automatically activated. Much to the frustration of the captain who asked what was going on. Data informed him of the reason the alarm was going off. To which the captain said that the protocols needed to be updated as it would take them hours to cut through the outer hull with such a weapon system if the shields had not aromatically activated. I think number one even told Data to disregard the attack till there was a more legitimate reason to respond.
