The variable-geometry pylon is a feature first introduced to Federation starships around 2370.
The warp nacelles have the ability to be raised into position for warp speeds, then lowered into a more streamlined position when at slower-than-light speeds.
The pylons were raised anytime the ship's warp field is at power levels above idle, even if not used for propulsive effect.
