[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kazeite: [QB] To toss my 2 cents, IMHO Akira does have at least 14 torpedo launchers. :) There was a Akira pic in Starship Spotter and following launchers were visible: 2 pairs on the saucer - 4 5 in back on weapons pod - 9 Also in FC Akira presented 4 more launchers in weapons pod, facing forward, and one single multi-fire launcher on the underside of the saucer, in front of deflector dish. So, that's 14. And I think it's not a big stretch of imagination to assume that there's backward facing launcher in the saucer as well, which gives us 'requied' 15 launchers :) What I think is that those clustered lauchers are in fact single-fire only, as witnessed in FC. If we were to remove those clustered launchers Akira would be left with only two multi-fire launchers - a perfectly normal configuration for the ship of that era. Is it possible that Akira was reffited to provide greater firepower as 'cheap' as possible? Regarding carrier functions... I don't know where those presumed fighters exit ship. That area between catamarans? Nope. Although some plans show huge doors to shuttlebay in that area there's no sign of that in actual model. Those three 'windows' in front of saucer? That's more possible, but there's one tiny problem - literally :) - Those 'windows' doesn't appear to be tall enough for those mini-Peregrine fighters. (at least to me) [/QB][/QUOTE]
