[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] They do indeed fire from the dorsal side on occasion - but from odd locations, including the dorsal ports flanking the main deflector, and the "supercharger" greeblies atop the catamaran structures. Through the first two seasons of Enterprise tech reports on Flare, I documented each instance - including a report on the apparent use of plasma weapons in "Broken Bow". :) However, Enterprise is riddled with weapons discontinuties, one of the many problems that came from losing the direct link between the art and VFX departments, which happens when you outsource CG work to people who don't understand the ship design. Remember the Darmok! I'm cool with the "standardized module" approach for the weapons pods. But to keep the number of cannons down, I theorize that the phase cannons are on rails that can physically move the pods to different ports as necessary (much as has been done back in the day when old sailing ships needed an extra-spacial broadside). While Reed and company should have easily been able to build more, we did get infrequent references to the single aft phase cannon through the third season's "Damage", at least. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
