Errr, righty then. Allow me to explain :innocent:

The saucer is connected to the secondary hull (the rest of the ship) by a ... piece of metal quite similar to the duck's neck style thingy of a Galaxy or constitution class. The difference is, its surface has a grid like consistency, most likely designed to frighten off Romulans :thumbsup:

.

My detailed knowledge of these things is due to the fact that I was in charge of building the Enterprise-B. However, the team encountered technical difficulties (I coudn't glue the saucer to the grid-like duck-neck accordian thingy) so someone else took charge of the project :crybaby:

We hopes this clears things up :thumbsup:

. If the doctor can help with anything else, let me know. My knowledge is without limits :pimp:

what do you mean, "you was in charge of building the eneprise b?".

and it cleared it up a bit.

When I was building the Enterprise-B, I got a chance to see the ducks-neck component up close, so I can assure you that it is not much different from other Federation ships :thumbsup:
