What if a Constitution-class starship lost her engineering section?

And Tuesday.

If Q is omnipotent, can he make a rock so big that not even he could lift it?

What if a Constitution-class starship, not the Enterprise, lost her engineering section near the Romulan neutral zone when it was destroyed by a Romulan bird-of-prey?

You see, CaptainJordan, after we dissect your not-Enterprise for every precious bit of information, I intend to display its broken hull in the center of the Romulan capitol as a symbol of our victory. It will inspire our armies for generations to come, and serve as a warning to any other traitor who would create ripples of disloyalty.

That made me laugh. Thanks for the sensible chuckle.

Proof that TOS Enterprise could undergo saucer separation/reconnection too!

I will find my way out...

To give you a serious answer, if the engineering section were able to extend its warp field around the separating saucer section before being destroyed the saucer could "coast" at warp speed toward the nearest Federation outpost or planet like a giant lifeboat. It couldn't do any fancy maneuvering or anything though or risk breaking the warp field bubble, so they'd be very vulnerable to any enemy vessels pursuing at warp.

Okay I think that’s enough…
