Yes, I left out a lot of information out.

Suck it up.

How many ships do you eat in a week?

[JTMitchell87]

I don't eat ships?

[Detoritrockcity31]

hey would u happen to have a model of the USS Defient and or a model of Deep space 9

[JTMitchell87]

Maybe I do... Maybe I don't...

[crmfghtr]

Yeah well you have had that long enough, time to let somebody else have it for awhile, I'll take it off your hands

[JTMitchell87]

I've only had it for about a year...

[Acesanugal7]

Allow me to out-geek you here, JT....

The warp nacelles are on actuating pylons for a simple reason... When down, the impulse drive thrusters are in a wider stance for better manueverability... However, the pylons rotate upwards like that so that the vessel does not damage subspace as it travels past a warp factor of six or so... Also, the streamlining effect is part of the reason it can cruise with STABILITY at a warp factor of 9.975 :)

I had this toy for a long time. It came with a base which you could screw on if you were to want it off the stand.

Let me tell you, when I had a Buzz Lightyear, I always imagined that it was either the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek: The Next Generation and the U.S.S. Voyager from Star Trek: Voyager.

@AricofBored Oh and the reasons the warp engines pivoted was to "alter the warpfield geometry" around the ship to make it more efficient. It saved gas.

[AricofBored]

Mine also has the worn out buttons, I bought mine new in 94, It does come new with an extra battery cover without display stand attached. It was a cool ship at the time, I put the revell model decals on mine and hit it with a light dullcoat. This ship wasn't made in the quantity that the ent-d was, hence the crazy online prices. (the u.s.s. defiant is even worse)

[AricofBored]

I used to have this ship, I liked it at the time. I forgot how loud the nacelles were. (btw, the nacelles pivoting up/down was supposed alter the "warpfield geometery" of the ship.) Mine also suffers from worn out buttons. and I think one of the motors may be going out. However, I've had mine since 1995. If you are lucky enought to get a ship still in the box or complete, It

@JTMitchell87

u know why the USS Voyager warp nacelles go up, Voyager uses variable geometry warp nacelles that have a new folding wing-and-nacelle configuration. When traveling at sublight speeds, the nacelles remain in a lower, flat position, but when Voyager's warp drive is engaged, the nacelles fold up into the traditional, higher-profile position. This new configuration means that warp fields generated by the engines will not damage the fabric of space.

[AgentStark427]

You can pull the base off.

[charmlighter]

The tilting wing nacelles can shift microns in their positions, emitting minutely adjustable warp fields that are more efficient and safer when traveling in subspace. This, combined with new verterion manufacturing and the APD-01 Warp Core, makes it’s propulsion systems super-advanced MY SOURCE .. voyagers technical manuel :D

[Takeshi357]

Considering how the nacelles are actually attached, there's no reason really why they couldn't have had contact points to make them light up as well.

Hi JT.

I have had a Voyager for a couple of years and I have had no problem removing/replacing the ship from the stand. I do not know why yours would be screwed in?

It is attached only by pegs with rubber bushings.
