[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Regarding the NX-01 plasma cannon on the upper forward saucer, they are intriguingly enough the ONLY type of weapon fire to ever emerge from the upper forward saucer. While every other weapons port on the ship (plus some things that weren't intended to be weapons ports, like those "turbocharger" caps) was seen emitting phase cannon beams, the two dorsal ports are not. It is quite possible that they were the only ones to be installed with ANY kind of weapon for the "Broken Bow" mission, and that once installed, those weapons never left those ports. As for the aft tube... The intended airlock door on the aft pod is seen to act both as an explicit torpedo launcher ("The Expanse") and as an explicit phase cannon ("Raijin", "Proving Ground"). Both during the same mission, too. No choice there but to try to ignore some of what we see. ...I choose to ignore the torpedo launcher (in "reality", the shots came from the "real" twin tubes), and to reinterpret the airlock as a standard gunport.
