No, it's just another ship around during the Kirk era.
Considering that it doesn't stray far from the Connie visually, there's probably a TOS-style version of the same design in one of the old RPG books or tabletop gaming systems too. They were all about those Connie kitbashes back then.

I remember in TNG they mentioned how each section of the ship can be instantly sealed off from one another and there are multiple layers of outer hull to prevent catestrophic hull breaches.

If engineering gets hit though, the warp core explodes and takes the whole ship with it.

The reason they are build on space is because the fucking thing would break at the moment gravity starts to hit it
because all the ship weight is separate from the push part,
the yellow part would not be able to hold the rest of the ship after it starts to move

>>379189040
Last time I looked, Impulse drives were on the saucer section and the Warp Nacelles don't do anything but create the warp speed bubble that surrounds the whole ship

This is incorrect. The ships do not hold themselves in one piece because of structural strength and design, they obviously would flop over at the slightest turn. The ship is held together with structural integrity fields which are forcefields interlocking all the atoms in the ship together.

Voyager is atmosphere capable because it's tiny. The Defiant and other ships likewise.

so they use the same technology that they use to achiev light speed to hold the ship toggether?

>>379173008
That's because the reapers were ripped off from Saberhagen's Berserkers stories and the aliens from the Mutineer's Moon series.

Honestly, the Mutineer's Moon series had the best take on alien genocide. The aliens suffered a cataclysm to their refugee fleet that resulted in the main AI getting emergency powers, and then the AI categorized all other species as possible threats in order to maintain martial law.

>>379190270
Non-FTL speeds are accomplished with the Impulse drives. The ship is held together by a Structural Integrity Field to ensure that strenuous manoeuvrers or huge fluxations in local gravity don't tear the ship apart.

FTL speeds are accomplished by the warp drive bubbling the ship in a field that allows it to travel that fast and without ripping itself apart. Inertial Dampers prevent the crew from suffering fatal trauma from the sudden acceleration/deceleration.

There's also a Navigational Deflector shield active at all times that prevents micrometeorites and other space detritus from damaging the ship

AFAIK the warp drive is an inertialess drive since it is pulling the space ahead of it and pushing the space behind it. It's not technically accelerating as a result.

>>379189270
