  • Fun fact: I scrubbed through that whole fight and there is exactly 1 frame where only 4 beams are on screen, and it’s the view screen of the Alito and not a very clear shot. The rest are 5 4 beams or <=3

    And in DS9 the big fleet actions only have only a few ships firing at a time. I didn’t think the phaser effect cost that much, but presumably I was wrong about that.

    Figured it could work for the meme.











  • I’ve always been a fan of the canon interpretation that anything other than the two nacelle pattern was because someone needed to compensate for something in the workload. Battleships (Federation-class variants, Galaxy-X) have 3 so one can get chopped off and they can keep on trucking, quads rotate through them to even wear/allow ‘sprinting’ for longer, singletons being 2 nacelles in a trenchcoat for cost/maintenance reasons (which explains why they’re often proportionally oversized), etc.
