Talking "*What* kind of cannons are those?"

Mark,

Here's how the original exchange "went down" back in August 2006:


DeanHFox: Jay, I really like this design so far, but the sci-fi geek in me is screaming, "it needs fin-tip laser cannons!"

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,
