adm. stickler 0 Posted July 28, 2004 Its me again with one of these puzzling questions :) haha. ok now we know the matter/antimatter integrator (that thing in the middle of main engineering) is the origanl Enterprise's verstion of a warp core. But what is in that chamber in the back, with all the pipes?? And where do the pipes go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted July 28, 2004 I thought those were the nacelles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adm. stickler 0 Posted July 29, 2004 no the nacelles are the big long engines out side of the ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted July 29, 2004 No, I the original design allowed for the nacelles to be connected to engineering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adm. stickler 0 Posted July 29, 2004 ok then what are horizontal pipes for? carry power to the ship? ....Sorry I'm just really curious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turak 0 Posted July 30, 2004 they could be energy conduits providing energy from the warp core to the nacelles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Kirk 1 Posted July 30, 2004 they could be energy conduits providing energy from the warp core to the nacelles That's what I thought they were. They also can be seen in STTMP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted August 6, 2004 They're the distillery that Scotty uses to make engine room hooch. Lol! "Aye Cap'n, and when yar' done kickin' the pants off of the Klingons, come on down to Engineerin' and get you some Warp 2 Moonshine!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted August 12, 2004 I know what you're talking about AS but I have no idea what the creaters thought those pipes (or whatever they are) worked as part of the engines. I doubt they knew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSonofvulcan 0 Posted August 12, 2004 I'm pretty sure those are power conduits like on the Galaxy Class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted August 12, 2004 I'm pretty sure those are power conduits like on the Galaxy Class 249683[/snapback] I don't remember seeing them on the Ent-D and I'm sure if they were there they weren't in the same place. On 1701 those thingies relationship to the nacelles seemed non-existent. I remember once Scotty (in engineering) said: "Ooh, me poooor engines." while looking back through the wall opening towards those pipes. That to me implied those pipes were the engines. Can anyone explain how all the mechanical parts shown in TOS work together to create and maintain warp drive like they may be able to for TNG? I doubt it, not enough (canon) info was ever given in TOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
