I'd accept 15 torp tubes and the carrier stuff... but two warp cores... where do you get that?

In here,than more photons you can unleash at enemy in second than your chance to win is higher.

Assuming for a moment that Trek is not about fine storytelling, yes, you are right. However, it doesn't take 15 tubes to fire 'than more photons'. Remember the Ent-D which could simultanuously fire something like five or six from one tube. (and I will not believe there is ANY logic in having a ship fire 15*5=75 torps at once!)

And second:Almost every ship in ST have shuttlebays which can be used to carry fighters.And do not forget about antigravs,they saves alot of space.

Anti-grav does not make doors bigger or fighters smaller. And how you do you get out of your fighter in zero-g? Or service them?

We know the Ent-D and her Galaxy class sisters could fire ten torps in one volley. If an Akira has those same tubes...

...therefore, I think it is more plausible to say that the launchers on the Akira cannot fire as many torps in one volley, and that is why she has the largest number of launchers in the fleet.

Speaking of fire rates, does anyone know how many the Ent-E can fire in one volley?

Always thought that Akira's tubes is pule-fire i.e. it fire small valley of 4 torps than wait for 3-5 seconds.

Ant-gravs just allow for more effective use of space.And why not in zero-g?
