Say what you will about Discovery but the ship is amazing.
At least until Season 3. I HATE those detached nacelles.

I wonder how you do maintenance on detached nacelles. Do you beam over to the nacelle? Is there a permanent staff on board each nacelle?
The nacelles reattach when going warp or using the spore drive. The only time the nacelles are unattached is at station keeping and sub-warp speeds.
Been watching discovery for the past couple of days and you can clearly see them reattaching when getting ready to go to warp and when getting ready to utilize the spore drive. You can clearly see this in season 3
The nacelles only reattach for the Spore Drive. There’s a scene is season 3 or 4 where they almost lose a nacelle at warp because they aren’t attached.
I just watched that episode the other day. The nacelle was attached until the explosion. Also in every episode I have seen since the detachable nacelles were implemented, the nacelles attach prior to going to warp. Currently watching the series now.
Fair enough. Unlike most of the shows I’ve only seen most of the Discovery episodes once so I must have misremembered.
