Which is weird, cuz you'd think that would be the whole purpose of having a 3rd nacelle, but nope, when I goto Transwarp, only my 2 bottom nacelles glow LOL.

I thought WoW's forums had angry elitist snobs, but I never could have imagined the level STO forums has.:confused:

    Transwarp uses a different type of technology than Warp Nacelles so the nacelles shouldn't even glow.

    The general idea of the 3'd Nacelle is to compensate for the increased mass of the Galaxy class.

    It houses 2 sets of warp coils, that work in conjunction with the two original coils to stabilize the warp-boubble after the extra mass has been added... Ironically, most of the extra mass comes from the pylon of the 3'd nacelle.

    Transwarp on the other hand is projected from the deflector.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.
