[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Based on Mike Trice's pictures, most of them already linked here, I believe there are no ventral single emitters on the ship. The cannonlike protrusion in the ventral hull could also be a "deflector spire" of the type seen in many fanfic ships of the TOS movie era, usually attached to the saucer bottom vertex. As for aft weaponry, there are some pictures of the stern in "Peak Performance" but all the screencaps I have seen are of too poor a quality to make observations. They seem to indicate a smooth, flat wall, however. Traditionally, Starfleet ships have had extremely weak rear armament overall. Perhaps their engine configurations somehow necessitate this? It is unlikely there would be aft torpedo tubes (unless they are behind protective hatches, which doesn't seem to be typical of post-TOS vessels). There could be some phaser turrets there, though. I'm still wondering if the Mirandas have two single aft turrets below the impulse nozzles, as implied by some photos... And PopMaze: I'd be happy to accept two parallel versions of the Excelsiors, equal in impulse performance despite different number of impulse crystals. There might be some tradeoffs between one big crystal and two small ones, but those only make life so much more interesting... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
