[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'd suggest that all the FJ phasers were there on the TOS ship, just retractable behind completely concealing panels. Two pairs flanking the bridge, one pair just ahead of the lower sensor dome, and possibly another pair further forward of that lower dome (to account both for the "phasers 1-4" reference and the fact that the VFX people sometimes fired the phasers from there in side pictures). Add plenty of ventral and aft phasers wherever you please - the TMP ship could have fewer of those "secondary guns", since there apparently are more of the mains. That would leave *all* the visible surface features for torpedo tubes, portholes and engineering paraphernalia. Easy to fit six tubes there: two to four on the underside in "portholes", just like NX-01 does it, and two on the topside where FJ puts them. Thus we also preserve continuity in the sense that torpedo tubes have never been completely invisible and are in fact quite prominent in TOS movie and later ships, whereas phasers in both ENT and TOS are almost perfectly hidden, and only jut out from TOS movies onwards.
