Perhaps it has to do with the whole 'warp bubble' thing?
Maybe intergrated ships are only good if they're small, while larger ships need the nacelles out further?

Or the bigger the naccels the more radiation they throw out so they have to be futher away. Would explain why small ships have nacelles up close.

Souds reasonable - the larget the ship overall, the farther out the nacelles must be in order to project the warp field.

Quite possible, Teaos.
Although, I still wan't to know why they don't armour the damn things.

Budget cuts?

So to save money they don't armour the one thing that makes the ship blow up when tapped?

Fits in with Starfleet design principles...

Starfleet has design principles?

Of course it does!

"Background crewmembers must be maimed, killed, or otherwise inured in as many unexpected ways as possible at any opurtunity."

Why else do you think they line computers with C4?

If only they'd place computer consoles in front of fortified positions - hey presto you have a bunch of Claymores.

with starfleets' incompetence,they literally would use claymores,except it'd be highland broadswords maiming the assorted ensigns......

Nah, no one would be that stupid.

*looks at Klingons*

Oh, wait...

Maybe they need to expel radiation and having armor on them causes them to over haet. I mean EVERYONE leaves them free so it would seem like they need to be.

Akira-class. I'd take her on an exploration mission.
