Thus the nacelle pylon connections would have to be moved forward otherwise the engineering sections would take up even more space. Moving the warp core forward allowed for the majority of the secondary hull to be devoted to cargo space directly accessible though the shuttle bay.
Basically a design flaw made a ship from 2245 still viable until 2293.
