[QUOTE]Originally posted by Starship Millennium: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]And why would this ship need a torpedo launcher at all? There was no dialogue reference to torpedoes (unlike with the Saratoga). The Soyuz class mission profile might not call for FTL space combat beyond phaser ranges. And I refuse to believe that the idiocy of "all our ships can perform all our missions" began in Kirk's era already.[/qb][/QUOTE]Maybe for probes and the like? The Bozeman did look like it was heavily modified with lots of sensors... if it was designed for recon or even just scientific studies, probes would definitely help, as well as the ability to defend itself against any would-be attackers. But then again I guess the transporter would work for that too... [QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [qb]The diagram on that page has a refit type bridge and structure below it (the airlock box around the turbolifts, the angled sides), but the Bozeman had the Phase II type bridge with the "Mickey Mouse ear" turbos and the more TOS like rounded superstructure. Was that an Encyclopedia scan?[/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not sure, but based on the inaccurate proportions of the nacelles it looks like the base was taken from the Fact Files/Star Trek: The Magazine and heavily modified from there (that representation was basically just a rollbar-less Miranda with one sensor pod stuck on the back of it). Whoever modified the image to make it more accurate probably just forgot to change the bridge. IIRC, the Soyuz and the Bozeman didn't appear in a side view in any version of the Encyclopedia.
