[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] "...so we can assume that there are just two plasma cannons." I'd argue that all the dirty-dozen gunports on the ship were designed to accommodate a "standard weapon module". The original intent was to drop in a phase cannon module on each, but since the ship launched ahead of schedule, some older plasma cannon modules were used instead... I'd assume there were corresponding dorsal- and/or aft-firing units in "Broken Bow". Reed and pals would gradually alter the arsenal during the two-year mission by building phase cannon in the free berths (at least five, perhaps more, despite the original talk of three). The plasma cannon might or might not be removed or deactivated in the process (do we ever see these two dorsal ports fire before the Season Three refit?), but certainly they would fall into disuse. And why not? It's not as if they hit anything in "Broken Bow", and similar weapons seen in "Fortunate Son" et al. seemed to score relatively little damage. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
