[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The basic Nova class, as seen in episode "Equinox", has the following visible weapons: 11 phaser strips and 2 forward torpedo tubes. There are also aft torpedo tubes, since we see the ship firing aft torpedoes. These aft tubes just happen to be invisible. The torps happen to be coming from the middle of the ship's spine, so presumably they are behind that dark hatch there, halfway between the shuttlebay and the impulse engines. (Curiously enough, the MSD seen in the episode places the shuttlebay behind this middle hatch, but there are other errors in the MSD as well, like the placement of the forward torpedo tubes. The MSD is probably best forgotten.) The eleven phaser strips need not all be of the same type - perhaps the long primary stripes are of a higher type than the short ones? The only ship for which we "know" the phaser strip classification is the Galaxy class, with all of her strips of type 10, and even that is not strictly canonical. I suggest type 8 phasers for the Nova, possibly with the shorter strips being type 7. That sounds "weak" enough in comparison to the Galaxies, and "strong" enough in comparison with shuttles which can carry type 4 or 5. Type 8 might also be what is used onboard the Voyager, for that matter. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
