Mind you, it is both what the detachable saucer of the Enterprise-D and the multi-vector assault mode on the USS Prometheus could have accomplished 800 years earlier if they wanted to. If they can't do that now when they are already detached, the designers of these new starship vanity features get the same treatment from me as those who design modern web sites. It makes no sense, but they push it anyway. And Starfleet is buying it.
I have one better tactic though: Jump with the nacelles and the tentacles into a place the adversary will find themselves in trouble, then detach, slip out, reattach, jump to where you want to go. And Discovery could do almost as advanced battle acrobatics with the spore jumping in Season 1.
OH I don't know those tentacles could feel all over Discovery and penetrate her hangar bay.... That's not even consensual.
Y'all don't get it. That scene was a metaphor. The detachable nacelles represent progress and innovation, the Orion tentacles represent Gene's Vision, while Disco being ensnared by the tentacles represents how the franchise is stuck being bound to the old ways.
The poor ship got tentacle raped
I'm surprised they didn't retrofit Discovery with the transformer tech we've seen on Book's ship.
Which leads us to ... starships transforming into giant robots - missed opportunity. They could've had Discovery transform into Voltron (with both nacelles merging to form the sword) and then just sliced thru those nasty tentacles quick as look at you.
Voyager J, Defiant L and Enterprise T can all join together to form a Voltron-style robot.
But none of their crews can cooperate so the whole thing flies apart violently once joined.
On the topic of Nacelles, does Slipstream Drive require the use of dilithium crystals? If not, then why isn't Star Fleet using the technology in the 32nd century in place of warp drive?

The tentacles reminded me of Packled tech.
Sad when you are stealing your ideas from the comedy cartoon. Her whole attack felt like the (edit) Pakleds

Ok, I know I'm on a Trek forum and that being a nerd is par for the course but...
It's Pakleds.

I think "hentai" means "porn".
If they made Discovery fully morphable like Book's ship, it could have Houdini'd it's way out for sure.
But it probably would've take more than 3 weeks refit time to do it.

Well hey one of those tentacles could have penetrated her hangar bay. That wouldn't be consensual
Nope it just means pervert/twisted/corrupt....hentai da!
