[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lurker Emeritus: [qb] Instead, we get what is obviously just a redress of the hangar bay, with enough empty room for a dance floor and full orchestra, a great big widescreen TV in the middle and... strangely, an almost total absence of actual torpedo's but for one or two here and there. First time I saw it I couldn't figure out what I was looking at. [/qb][/QUOTE]I was thinking that the wheeled racks we occasionally see are all fully loaded and [i]under the decking[/i]. When needed, a rack is elevated to the "deck" and wheeled to where ever it's needed. Stored racks of torpedos are more secure with their safetys on below-decks (I always hated the silly manual loading system shown in STII). as to the launchers themselves, considering the distances that [i]should[/i] be involved in starship combat, the ship's "spine" and "belly" should house rows of launch tubes. ...and torpedos should be far more autonoumously guided than they are shown to be, with a "friendly safety" feature that will not detonate anything except the chosen target. That being said, it's important that they dont make the torpedos like the silly "oildrum" missiles shown so often in anime that follow a target like a flailing school of Piranha. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
