[ACTA:SF] K9R Dreadnaught mini and plasma locations

[billclo]

I'm getting ready to work on my Rom K9R and have a question. Where is the Plasma-R mounted, the center engine, or the front of the rear hull center lined on the bottom (which would make it hard to clear the center engine)? I'm thinking front of the center engine...

I am using pieces of 1/16ths brass dowel glued onto the engines for plasma launchers, and want to make sure I get the location right for the Plasma-R.

I looked at the FedCom ship sheet, and it wasn't really clear either way.

It might be worth checking with SPP in the Questions on Ships section of the ADB BBS.

(If I recall correctly, the plasma-R would take up too many option mount spaces to fit on the centre engine, so it might have to go somewhere on the hull. I may be mistaken on this, however.)

Question posted, and I'll report the answer.

Thanks for the link.

The concensus seems to be the Plas-R borrowed Klingon tech, and the Roms were able to shoe-horn the Plas-R where the disruptors would be in the center warp engine.

I may try enlarging the disruptor bulge a bit and then attach the Plas-R and see how that looks.
