[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Just noticed something about the weapons upgrades. The aft launcher is in that damned pod, from which we've seen stuff launch before. However, the forward launcher is a NEW port on the ventral centerline between the existing launchers. You can barely see it in the climactic battle, being fairly obscured by cloudy stuff. This conflicts a little with the dialogue, in which Trip asks Reed about the refitting of the tubes. I suppose they could be talking baout the aft tube, though. Still, it looks like the new photonic torps are independent from the old weapons, which they are obviously keeping around. With any luck, this could make for some nice "guns blazing" FX shots next year. OTOH, they have made lots of gaffes with the phase cannons this year, so... Also, now that they've spent a few weeks in drydock, most of these changes can probably be explained away. I think we can also conclusively state that the armory set is not one of two, with each tube being served by a launcher and loader device. It's apparent now that the armory set is centralized with the loading device only part of the mechanism. Another note is that they may have a limitation on how many photonic torpedoes they can launch at a go; that stacking thing carried only so many, and unless there's something in the ceiling that loads it again (like a pistol magazine, maybe) they may have trouble rapid-firing a lot of 'em.
