why would they vent plasma in front of the ship? I'm sure they can but I doubt they would make huge vents souly for that single purpose.

I can explain the lack of red Bussard collectors, the ship designers of the TMP movies wanted a change from the TOS version. Since that was the only ship they designed in the first movie and in the second movie the only new ship was the Miranda which had the same Necelles, they continued on the same way til TNG.

Enterprise is basically the Akira class with slight necell changes.

The question is, how much did they "think".

I say, yes it could be a ramscoop. But I have no definitive proof for it. It could be something else, it could have to do with cooling, venting, collecting.

But I did never see an official diagram which said what it is.

Sure, they designed a completely new ship. The design process started with planning Star Trek 2 (the series) and ended in TMP. However, I first heard someone explicitly mentioning the ramscoop in TNG (where it was eventually used).

So, it's not sure.

It's all pure speculation I suppose and isn't even important, as long as they have weapons and engines.
