the dauntless was the fake one, the one captured by romulans was the prometheus...

I am starting to really like the akira class, i play star wars legacy on xbox 360, its a decent game...a liitle short for me, but i like it allot, i am thinking of new ships btw...the original enterprise will alway have a special place with me...and with it the refit for the movies
akira isn't a bad ship by any means, legacy wasnt bad on xbox, but it sucked big time on pc...
yeah, i like the akira, i just think that it lacks that little bit of extra firepower that a galaxy or sovereign has...

It definetly lacks the firepower, but i think it makes up for it in speed an manuverability, and at the time it had ablative armor.....which the galaxy did not have(maybe they were refitted with it), isnt it great to have a forum to talk about these things 🙂
Originally posted by RaoulSorry about that. I should have been more clear.
i didn't know it had rear quantum tubes... i know it has the dorsal and ventral photon tubes, but i thought it was just the three...
Production designs from ST: Nemesis show the Ent:E with upgraded torpedo launchers. There are four torpedo units shown (three of which were seen to fire during Nemesis, while the fourth may have been fired during Insurrection):
1) A forward quantum torpedo launcher on the saucer ventral.
2) A rear, dual photon torpedo launcher on the dorsal saucer around deck 3.
3) A quad photon torpedo launcher (two forward, two aft) on the engineering ventral.
4) A rear photon torpedo launcher just above the main shuttle bay on the engineering hull.
That comes to a total of 8 launchers. @_@

the nemesis enterprise was very different from the insurrection and first contact one, even the structure of the ship was diffrent... hmm
i don't think it could have 8 launchers... seriously...
Originally posted by RaoulWell, to be strictly technical, there are four units that launch torpedoes, but some of them are dual or quad launchers (separate torpedo tubes), hence I counted them up separately.

They are a part of the schematics and notes for ST:Nemesis, so you might be able to argue a canon policy against them, based on the fact that we don't see the quad or dual launches up close (that and one of the aft tubes isn't seen to fire in the final cut of the film). That's up to you.
I'm a big pre-production guy, so I tend to put a lot of stock into production notes, scripts, and such. 🙂
ah, i see what you were going by... if a tube can launch 4 torpedoes, i still only count it as one...
from what i recall, i was convinced the enterprise had 3 launchers, the main quantum turret, the aft one on the saucer section for the photons, and the ventral one that could fire both forward and aft... the fourth one is probable too, but i don't recall it being seen on-screen...
Originally posted by RaoulHeh, its confusing, but I actually was talking about the number of launchers on each unit (not the number of torps to a tube). But we can agree to disagree! I'm just a junkie for production notes and such. It happens to us movie geeks.

According to memory Alpha, after a major refit, Sovereign class ships had 10 launchers and 16 phaser arrays. shock

good ol nemesis messing with trek... 🙁
the phaser arrays i can understand, but 10 torpedo launchers? unless they mean the actual amount of torpedoes fired per ship...
Originally posted by RaoulAh, that's nothing! Production sources and the Star Trek Magazine peg Akira class vessels with 15 photon torpedo launchers and two shuttle bays that link through the center of the ship for rapid, support craft deployment.

The thing is basically a flying, heavy weapons platform. 😄
