Yeah, it's just an illusion created by the Republic Commando in question being so tiny in relation to the diameter of the tube :)

The WOTC rpg sourcebook says that the ship's has 4 missile tubes with 20 missiles each.

Compare this to the VSD-I, which is said to have 20 missile-tubes with 4 misiles each. :roll:

I thought the VSD had 80 concussion missile launchers? I know it said so in Isard Revenge, when two of them used them to waste the Reckoning.

That was from the old WEG stats. WOTC retconned it to 80 missiles in 20 launchers.

Ah, long overdue, but here at last.

Entering the turbolaser gunnery deck. The control room from which the remainder of the shots will be taken from is at the top of that ramp.

View from the top of the ramp, looking down at where I was before, to give a sense of the surroundings. Pay no attention to the Separatist droid boarders.

In the gunnery deck, looking left. Several more quad turbolaser emplacements are visible are visible lining the side of the ship. Note that the red turbolaser bolts are incoming fire coming from the enemy battleship.

Like the previous image, except looking right. More turbolaser emplacements.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/C ... nnery4.jpg

Same view, but with the emplacement firing.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/C ... nnery5.jpg

Looking straight, through the viewports directly in front. The RAS Talbot and a Lucrehulk battleship are visible. This room is located directly above one of the quad turbolasers, implying that there is one above each of the turbolaser emplacements.

Same window, but with the turbolaser firing. The muzzle flash obscures the view entirely.

Power conduits of unknown nature leading to the turbolaser that this control room overlooks (the one in the sixth and seventh pictures).
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/C ... nnery8.jpg

The conduits glow whenever the turbolaser fires.

The other end of the conduits lead deep into the ship, presumably to its main power distribution tree.

Some of them could use brightening, I suppose.


Oh yeah, the torpedo tubes are straight. If they somehow appear otherwise, it's probably because I wasn't standing right in the middle, combined with a trick of the shadows; they're perfectly straight.

based those grouped in three quads per room that room is above upper hull MTLs near the base of the Command tower (all other quads have no other batteries near them (from AOTC:ICS)).

NEC gave them 80 again on Page 73.
