I like the warp engines. They are different, bold, and aesthetic. If Atolm got sucked into the ST universe and became their HQ master ship designer, it would explain why Starfleet was/would be able to best the Suliban, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Dominion, Borg, Spherebuilders, or even Daniels' bungling.
It'd be a kick to see a shot of him drawing advanced starship designs at some advanced computer console, guarded by Nausican and Klingon guards in Starfleet armor with pulsed phaser rifles, in a quick scene as Picard or Garak or somebody walks by, arguing for or against inclusion of some group or another into the Federation.
Hey, some of you fic writers! Stick this in one of your stories!
