[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Now, it's basically up to us to determine how many of these additions were actually made... We have seen the new aft dorsal and only one of the forward dorsal launchers on the saucer, and it looks doubtful that the more-forward launcher was installed. There *is* at least one VFX shot where aft photorps are launched from the shuttlebay area on the secondary hull, but I haven't been able to freeze-frame it to determine where exactly. I think they never got around to adding the fore-fore launcher... We should be able to see SOMETHING when the Enterprise rams the Scimitar, which we should check. Mind you, that sequence was done in part with a physical model, so it may not be completely accurate. There are multiple examples of the new pylon-mounted phasers being used, which is odd since theorhetically all of the aft arc is covered already by the existing saucer mounts, except for at point blank range. I wonder if there's a tech explanation for this. Lots of people equate longer strips with more power, and that's semi-reasonable... I personally am in favor of having two or more classes of phasers mounted a la DS9, with the new aft strips being of equal power as the main saucer mounts. The secondaries would be used for defensive fire, anti-fighter (smaller craft are more common these days), and so forth. Finally, I see nothing wrong with them carrying and expending a full complement of torpedoes. The E-D carried 250 for two primary launchers... At full rate of fire, a Galaxy class ship could go through that in ten salvoes. The E-E was going nuts with the torpedoes for at least two rounds lasting several minutes each, only parts of which we saw. Even if the E-E was carrying 400 or more torpedoes, which is certainly possible, there is a good chance she burned through the lot. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
