Short of me watching every single episode of TNG/DS9 where a GCS fires a weapon to visually catalog every instance...

...does anyone have or know where I can find a CANON detailed layout of all of the weapon arrays of a Galaxy Class (and potentially other class[es]) starship[s]? Thanks! [Smile]

I have the Enterprise D deck plans from the main bridge down to deck 42 does that help?

Yeah, I'd think you could get a count of weaponry for the Galaxy from just about anywhere. TNG-era phasers, for instance, aren't hard to spot. (And it seems to me that the only difference between the "canon" and something like the technical manual's layout is the saucer's torpedo launcher, which could easily be ignored, if that's what you wanted.) Basically, couldn't you just go grab some images off Google?

Unless you're thinking of the sort of list which disregards the possibility of errors, thus including things like phasers coming from where no phaser should be; and includes weird one-off things like the "antimatter spread" from Best of Both Worlds. In that case, I haven't seen such a list.

Also consider the times we've seen the Galaxy fire phasers from the torpedo launcher- possibly an error or some lone phaser emitter buried beneath the launch tube (or the time Voyager fired a phaser blast from mid nacelle-somewhow).

Wasn't a phaser blast also seen coming from the captain's yacht once - TOS-style?

In "Encounter at Farpoint", the Enterprise fired an "energy beam" from the captain's yacht.

Picad told Tasha to "rig a phaser beam" to transmit compatible energy. I'm sure it was replaced when the Yacht arrived on Tuesday...

And it wasn't until Thursday until it was finally installed. The yard engineers had to rewire the whole area because of Picard's order to Yar. Meanwhile Picard was cruising around in his yacht around Earth all happy because he finally has a ship again and not a desk job.

Is it Friday yet?

I would think that those are the Rick Sternbach deckplans. I also have a copy.

Which makes about as much sense as telling someone to go out and buy the dvd themselves whenever a cap request is posted.

Battle Section:
medium ventral forward
2 short ventral aft
2 short ventral nacelle
2 short dorsal aft
2 short neck dorsal
medium neck forward (covered by saucer)
