I don’t see the word: ‘democrats’ in this posted screenshot.
But, if the shoe fits,…..

Sorry gentlemen,… BlueSky seems to run everything together.
I’ll pay more attention to what conversational patterns there are, if any-

Really nice effect on those emitters, btw- 👍🏽

Your rear ‘InterCoolers’ are rotated 90 degrees, indicating a vertical connection.
Rotating the emitters to 45 degrees means they are not aimed at their ‘corner partners’ which are in the neighborhood of 30 degrees from vertical/horizontal.

Oops, wait,… a closer look at this rendering seems to indicate your engines are also on their sides (like Stargazer),… okay, then never mind what I just said.
I was thrown by not being able to see the nacelle ’emitters’ facing each other,… like those in the TOS Enterprise-

Stargazer’s doubled warp system had nothing blocking either system, Port or Starboard.
Your current arrangement would be ‘technically’ perfect if you’d consider something along these lines - with the blue-lined ‘field’ unobstructed-

Kirk’s TOS Enterprise nacelles had nothing between them.
Below them, not between.

All I know is that Gene told me that warp engines are co-dependent, they operate in pairs.
“There are no single or triple engine configurations”, Gene said.
Well, once he was gone, the continuity vanished,… except on my Drawing Table-

So nice of you to say,… thank you-

Just a suggestion, if I may,…
Consider arranging your pylons so they don’t interrupt the field between your warp engines… maybe?

“Stealing” something means taking it from where it belongs.
Aliens/invaders are in this Country ILLEGALLY,… therefore they are not where they belong !

The alternate universe Ambassador Class, if you think about it.

Indeed,… I was a Commodore, some 300 years in the future, but now I’m here in the present, as a Designer of a buncha stuff for a Future - or The Future.
Speculatively.

Hi Mark,
Wow, long time, huh?
Message me for a little chat-

Let’s not forget the ‘Picard Maneuver’ and how quickly they probably needed to cycle for that -

Sorry,… I really don’t know/ don’t remember any thing about the personal working on/ controlling that game or even how it was to be played.

Actually, I never had anything to do with the actual development of the game itself. My focus was in checking the models & sets for accuracy & details while mainly working on the spacecraft, developing that one seat attack craft ,…. until Gene (Roddenberry) said no to Starfleet ‘Fighters’-
