AS you probably know i am a trek ship freak. The k'tinga as pictured for my avatar has two different weapon systems where the torpedo launcher is.
ST:I,II, IV has a heavy photon launcher.
Later in "Way of the Warrior" DS9
the same exact K'tinga cruiser is armed with a Red Phaser beam where the launcher was.
Why would they strip out a torpedo launcher and replace it with a phaser?
I know im    but thats cool STAR TREK keeps me sane.

Who knows, the red disruptor beam could have been more powerful then a torpedo or maybe they didn't have spare torpedo tubes for it during the refit. It would make sense to have a large disruptor there since Klingons often put forward firing weaponry on their ships.

i would not be surprised the klingons (KLINGON ENGINEERING!) would throw a disabled torpedo launcher out and put a big bad red phaser beam in LOL

Another one of my favorites is the Enterprise NCC-1701-D in the episode with the tamarians and Darmok and Picard on the planet with the energy creature.
The enterprise fires a high yeild Phaser from the Torpedo tube. And its rapid fire too. What?!?! when did that get installed?

Actually the high yield rapid fire phaser may be easier to explain, if it's not really a phaser (never seen the episode, don't know how they refer to it) but if they are detonating the photon torpedos inside the tube and creating a photonic beam (laser basically) that could be rapid fired by detonating lots of torps ...

You need to use paint or photoshop or something, it actually has nothing to do with URL.

He would still need a host. lol witch i am more then willing to supply. shoot ill resize it too. lol and couse i have no life. lol  behold.....

the URL http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v408/Pulaskee/N.jpg


LOL edit number 4 jsut thought i would make this on topic, I find it more irritating when book writers and fans mix things up, like lasers and phasers...Lasers have no affect on the Galexy class, it was said in one of them cool episodes, and in books you find that the TNG phasers shoot blue beams.....is it a setting thing? lol
