Sovereign class, rear torpedo launcher.

Do we have any evidence that the thing actually is a turret though?

And if you watch Insurrection you will see something similar. Indications are it can traverse at or near 90 degrees to each side.

Is it traveresed in that shot? Looks dead ahead....

It is aimed dead ahead, but you can see the space to either side. It looks like it can traverse to either side. I used to be skeptic about it being a turret, but when I saw this picture that confirmed it for me. It has to be turreted to a degree.Vympel wrote:Is it traveresed in that shot? Looks dead ahead....

There was also concept art which had the forward qtorp launcher actually come out of the hull and fire. (ala B5's defense grid) Pity they didn't keep that design. That would've been wicked.

I prefer it the way it is- there's no reason to add pointless complexity like weapons that come out of hatches. Sure it would've been cool, but would it have been pragmatic?

It would have been funky, but it would not have been in keeping with established Trek design doctrine.
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.
