[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Those pods are gigantic affairs, larger than TOS starships. It would be a major engineering problem to *invent enough stuff to fill them with*! I'm sure there could be twenty big torpedo launchers in the Phoenix pod, and still plenty of room for subspace scanners or whatnot. The problem lies in the absence of visible torp launcher muzzles in the pod. But "The Wounded" never gave us a high-res view, so we can postulate muzzles wherever we want... Still, I think it's a good idea to say the Nebulas have secondary hull launchers. And thus, I'm perfectly happy with a torp-less Phoenix pod. The "FC" VFX is lamentable in ruling out some logical locations for the launchers, but one atop/in place of the captain's yacht would be fine. Indeed, I'm sure Starfleet could install small torp launchers all over the ships if needed. Weapons on Starfleet ships are an afterthought anyway. The only interesting issue is whether a large number of weapon emplacements is better than a small number... Why would it be, when multi-emplacement ships virtually never fire their weapons simultaneously? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
