Alright… Who let Jeb Kerbal design a starship?
It’s Jeb Kerman, you heathen.
I would expect asparagus staging but, yeah, totally a Kerbal design.
Needs more

Can I suggest just 1 or 2 slight modifications?
You hit warp in the first episode of Season One of Star Trek: Overkill
When you come back it’s Season 12 and it’s the final episode
More like the USS Compensating For Something, amiright?
Compensating for not going enough warp.
KSP x Star Trek is a game we need!

I got a fever… and the only cure is more nacelle!
I’m wondering what, if any, in-universe justification there could be for such a design. I sincerely doubt that additional nacelles are actually going to result in a faster ship; I feel like top speed is a function of the power of the warp core combined with the physical limitations of the ship itself to withstand a powerful warp field (see: “She’ll fly herself apart, sir!” from Star Trek VI).
So this would absolutely have to be some kind of insane experimental test bed trying out a novel warp configuration. Or maybe it’s designed to be a warp-speed tug for moving planetoids from one system to another. Or it could be designed for massive redundancy, say for extremely long missions where you’re only running 2-4 nacelles at a time, but you want to be able to swap them out without having to rely on a starbase for repairs.
In any event, this is absurd and I love it.
Or a weird experiment in efficiency, where you’re running like 15 nacelles or whatever, but the way the individual fields line up it ends up being more than the sum of it’s parts so it only actually takes 1/2 the power of a standard design.
Warp tug for pulling massive objects is what I was thinking too
finally, the c/ncd c/104word colab I’ve been waiting for
This baby can fit so much fully automated luxury gay space communism
Don’t forget the democracy. It looks like it could deliver a few gigatons of democracy without breaking a sweat.
If Mariner went into Engineering.
Plus a reawakened young Rutherford.
“You know what this ship needs?”
“More nacelles?”
“More nacelles.”
Just gotta live, one quarter parsec at a time.
Moar Boosters!
The amount of antimatter needed to run those things might kill a solar system.
Yes, but on the other hand- lots of nacelles!
