More weapons needed on the new models.

Strange, aside from looking like Nemo, it's one ship many people actually like as it fits in with the rest of the Minbari range.

Well in my opinion the old one did as well.

It doesn't have to be angelfish shaped to be Minbari. The old model represented the design school which produced the White Star, same flat three pronged shape (like the Neshatan).

Having more than one design form makes it more realistic IMHO.

Though of course you can also have too much turret... as in case of the Nova, though there it's more a case of "too big turret".

Agreed. The Nova was overkill. I do like turrets though -- it gives some ships that classic "battleship look." If anything, races like the Hurr should have ships bristling with guns and cannons. I think the look works for the more aggressive races who like to show off their goods.

But I also understand the concept of "opening up gun ports" for those hidden weapons. It works for some races and not for others.

I suppose my thoughts on the matter come from seeing Star Trek episodes where phasers were coming out of random places on the Enterprise (particularly the ring around the saucer). I just like seeing fire from gun mounts.
