[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] That's true. If the Defiant were an ideal ship, then we'd usually accept the locations specified in its blueprints as gospel, ignore the MSD placements, and accept one or two faulty VFX shots. Applying that to the Defiant, the only designed launchers were those in the shoulders as far as we know. However, the writers insist there is an aft torpedo launcher as well, which brings us to at least three. The probe launcher is also hard to forget because it's onscreen AND on the MSD (though the MSD puts it at either side of the deflector). That brings us to four. However, where do we put the aft launchers? Given that the proven launchers all have visible holes, the aft launcher(s) should preferably have one as well. Most of the widgets are on the underside, as I've said, so it only makes sense to work with the suggested locations from "Paradise Lost", and accept a feature somewhere on the ventral side as an aft torpedo launcher. We can ignore the VFX from "Shattered Mirror" because that Defiant need not be identical to the original, even though it really looks that way. Conclusion: canonically, we have a forward launcher in the deflector, an aft launcher somewhere on the underside, and two forward quantum launchers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
