Exactly. The dialog implies this fairly unambiguously.
Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors
- Thread starter Donny
- Start date
Regarding the TAS nacelle interior, the scene was produced when the current thinking was that the M/AM reaction occurred inside the nacelles themselves, much like a commercial jet. With that in mind, I see the reactants being split and fed directly into the individual (reinforced) warp coils. That way, the resulting energy can be absorbed directly by the coils, without the need for miles of plasma conduits that otherwise represent just another potential point of failure.
Obviously, by TMP plasma conduit technology had improved to the point where this was no longer a concern

Told you it would be quick and dirty. Forgive the poor shadow quality and lack of reflections
No, I haven't. I'm not the biggest TAS fan, and really am not interested in working some of the interiors seen in that show into this project. However, I'm not completely against the idea, I just don't really have a fondness for it, nor do I consider it hard canon. Lemme check out the episode in question and see how I feel about it.
And beer. Lots and lots of beer.
Oh wait! That's the movies, sorry!
Oh wait! That's the movies, sorry!
Scotty's engine room runs on fine Scotch Whisky.And beer. Lots and lots of beer.
Oh wait! That's the movies, sorry!
So does Scotty.
Every time I see those converters with the big drum in the middle, I half expect Scotty to open it up and take out his wash. Seriously, they remind me of those big industrial washing machines. 
Still too soon...
My favorite joke that Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion tell at conventions...
How do reavers clean their weapons? They put them through the Wash
I find that answer vague and unconvincing.
I've finished up the Dilithium Reactor, complete with an interactive raising/lowering Dilithium Crystal Converter Assembly. Now to move on to the main consoles.
When are you going to let us tour the full scale set you've built? We all know you're really just taking pictures and passing them off as renders.
This shot would almost be complete, save for a final pass of lighting and the mesh in the green windows up there. Oh, and the desktop viewer on the right-hand console. Also still have to model the foyer console, the "office" to starboard of the foyer, and the Emergency Manual Monitor Room

Is this in-game or in 3ds Max? If Max, what renderer are you using?
In-game
Looks Amazing Donny...
