[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] The Larson only has two torp tubes (the Loknar has four - 3 forward and 1 aft). These are presumably in the FJ position below the bridge. It also has three banks of two phasers. Again these are presumably in the FJ positions (dorsal port and starboard, ventral forward). This makes the armament identical to that of the Saladin. So a better questions is: why did Starfleet build Larsons if they had Saladins? Or to put it another way: what's in the extended aft section? The Saladin blueprints I own show four shuttles in hangers on deck 8. It's a tight fit but if we're using the shuttle size taken from the external prop (as opposed to the much larger internal set dimensions) then it's possible. Apart from moving engineering there's very little that needs to be altered on the Saladin blueprints to adapt them for the Larson, just extend decks 6 and 7, shift the impulse engines and fill in the rest of the space. A small drop bay in the extension could easily handle another two shuttles ans uses some of the extra space. I'd use the rest either for marine quarters or mine layer equipment - the sort of stuff there isn't room for on the Saladin and which you would only put on a military ship. I'd also like to add a couple of single phaser emitters somewhere at the aft. Either on the vertical surface either side of the impulse exhausts or on the ventral surface. [/QB][/QUOTE]
