Gorn CM plasma-S location?

Post by OGOPTIMUS »

Where are the plasma-S launchers on the Gorn CM mini? The SSD has them nearly on the ship's centerline, so are they on the tips of both the engines, like so many of the Romulan Hawk series ships?

Pretty sure on a CM they are located under the first Bubble because of the Firing arcs. they are both FP right?

Under front bubble. Definitely NOT engine mounted.

Thanks.

Got it--under the bubble. Any markings there that I'm missing on the mini? Mine's just unadorned, but that could be because it's also the BC mini which has all the plasmas on the wings.

For comparison, the battle destroyer has a small dome, but I think that's a sensor and not the plasma-G. Am I wrong there?

On the new CM/BC mini there is nothing graphically representive of the launher under the CM Bubble. It is one of those things like the Shuttle Pads that you would have to paint it on or build it up in the case of the launcher. Remember also that the BC doesn't have that Center Line Phaser tower built up on it either. So there are a few anomilies both way that were paid for flexability.

That same Dome is under the First Bubble of the DN as well so I have always assumed it was the Plasma G Launcher on the DD/BDD and a Plasma R on the DN. Note it is not under the original CA or CL so IMHO that would tend to void out the thought it was a Sensor Dome.

Thanks. Guess I'll sculpt a small dome onto the bottom with putty.
