[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Different Nebulae probably carry different armament. We know some of the models have two short aft phaser strips on the saucer and some don't. Also, it appears that the triangular pod originally had two forward and two aft launchers, very similar to Constitution side-by-side tubes but somewhat more "canted" into a plow shape. Later refining of the model added those four extra slots to the aft end of the pod. While no model AFAIK has had actual torp tubes in the neck area, the great variety in the podded armament evident in the various models makes it plausible that some ships could have had neck launchers as well (even if Paramount never built the models that would reflect that "fact"). Also, the things on the sides of the refined triangular pod look like paired TOS movie era phaser turrets to me... Although I agree they would better be considered sensors, since TOS phasers on such a ship make zero sense. TOS phasers do seem to be useful in the TNG timeframe, since the Excelsiors and other ships still use them; but a Nebula shouldn't have those for any reason. The Steamrunner bow phaser anomaly is annoying. The CG model has no ventral phasers, but perhaps we should assume that SOME Steamrunners nevertheless have a ventral phaser mounted close to the bow to explain the anomaly. As for the Sabers, I'm willing to believe in omnidirectional torpedo turrets up there at the extreme stern... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
