[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Sigfrieds explanation is the reality of why the 1701 was designed the way it was.. Matt Jefferies decided that, since it would be dangerous for anything that needed to be serviced to be on the exterior of the hull, the rationale was that any equipment or ports would be safely inside the protection of the hull, and this was decided to keep with Gene Roddenberry's call for the ship to lack technical detail, basically he didnt want there to be any greeblies on it. By the way, it seems likely 1701 couldnt rear fire, what does that have to do with NX-01? Just because the Constitution's design didnt lend itself to the addition of a rear firing tube, whos to say that its predecessor wouldnt be able to? Theyve been making cars with power windows for decades, but they still make cars without power windows too? Why? Cost, feasibility, design preference.. etc.. the point being that even though one ship had them, doesnt mean theyd be added to every ship after them. Ships of the Star Fleet depicted an upgrade of the Constitution-class refits, the USS America that was identical to the E-A except with the back of the torpedo tube module containing a rear tube. It'd be interesting to see the studio model in that area, most blueprints of the E-no suffix refit label it as the torpedo waste vent, but if the E-A model had an area that lookedl ike it could launch a torp, then maybe it could have. And if somebody said starships didnt have rear firing tubes before the 24th century, then f*ck that because its obviously wrong. The NX-01 had them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
