[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Are those triangles on the bow of the Cousteau really lifepod covers, or just big paws for the forward landing gear? As for the aft torpedo tubes, I fail to see why everybody considers the scene in "Insurrection" to be a goof-up. The torps could easily be coming from underneath the ship, from the well-established twin aft launchers. Contrary to some statements, they do NOT fly between the nacelles and the camera. They leave the vicinity of the Enterprise within a few frames and move rapidly to the distance, while at the same time the Enterprise performs a banking maneuver and the camera moves slightly - so there is a lot of leeway in estimating the location of the launcher, and the twin ventral one is certainly a possibility. And perhaps the saucer torp tube next to the yacht berth is so short because it cannot fire at warp speeds? Perhaps it's only intended for "swim-out" quantum torpedoes that leave the ship mostly under their own propulsion? Thus, the ship would need those twin forward launchers for more traditional warp launches. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
