[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] On a tangent to that, even if Jeffries didn't arm the E-nil to the teeth, the TOS writers and VFX folks did that for him. From a purely observational-treknological standpoint, fifteen tubes on the Akira is not that different from at least six forward tubes on the E-nil in "Balance of Terror". The existence of more than two torp tubes on the likes of E-A is also a distinct possibility - they could still reside wherever the tubes were on the unrefitted Constitutions. That would help explain the four(!) torp bays seen in ST2 aboard the refitted E-nil - two or more were in the saucer somewhere (perhaps behind those hatches we mistook for airlocks or landing legs), and just happened to fire an inferior type of torpedo that Kirk didn't want to bring to play in the battle. The apparent scarsity of tubes aboard the E-D could also be observer bias - the saucer could have had sixteen, for use in separated flight mode. Or fifty, and those fired the antimatter spread we saw in "BoBW II". The two big 'uns on the stardrive section were simply better for most purposes. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
