He mentions that the FJ designs went against Roddenberry's 'golden rules' for starship design. There is some evidence that Roddenberry was a little miffed about the Tech Manual's popularity, and that he created those rules later to undermine the designs in the manual. |

How many warp engines does the Klingon Bird of Prey have again?? Damon. |

Only one – as far as can be determined. Although, it came from a movie that Roddenberry had little control over so..? Roddenberry did create his 2 engines minimum rule while creating TNG. I never heard of such a rule before that point. |
| Ghostrunner | 09 Apr 2020 6:34 p.m. PST |
He also made a rule that the engines had to have 75%(?) line of sight to each other. That rule ‘killed' the tug. |

He was still alive when III came out. The point is that the rest of the developers were happy to violate the rule when it suited them (the KBoP has no visible warp engines, either…violating a major design aesthetic of the setting). With the series finale the upgraded Enterprise had 3 warp engines, like the FJ dreadnaght. I wouldn't worry too much about what Roddenberry said, since the franchise didn't either… Damon. |
