I'm thinking "launch lugs with dowels in them" ala the Canaroc Scorpion.
CenturiGuy: We could call it the Dean H Fox "Sci-Fi Geek" Ion Cannon Mod.
JRThro: But Dean asked for *laser* cannons. If you install *ion* cannons, you'll have to reroute the warp manifold at the very least.
DeanHFox: Hey, "Ion" cannons, "Laser" cannons, "Thermal-Phaser-Pulse-Tuned-Plasma" cannons, they're all the same when you're looking down the barrell of one!
BOY, those tip-cannons make that design sexier. If they make it to Semroc's "production" version, I'm glad to have contributed a little something. You even got the LENGTH I was thinking about right on the money!
So as my mom would say, "Pick your poison."
Cheers,

(Sounds Kinda Kink-ish, doesn't it?)
So what about those tube-fin designs? (Keeping this discussion focused laser-like on target.)
