    I think that your arcs of fire on the saucer phaser arrays should be 405°, not 225°. This reflects a 225° arc of fire in the xy plane, and a 180° arc in the yz plane. I.e., nearly the whole top hemisphere of the saucer. The same would hold for the other arrays as well.

    I also didn't see anything about the modular pod in your write-up. You may want to allocate some SUs for various modules.

    Other than those two things, this looks solid.

    Re: arcs of fire.
    Yeah, I hear ya - sorry. I left in my own "personal" arc-of-fire description. I find the 180 + 225 = 405 somewhat confusing, so I tend to write down the horizontal plane in degrees, and either dorsal or ventral; or a vertical plane in degrees and port or starboard, depending on the location. So I know, for example, that the dorsal saucer section array can fire 225 deg "around" the ship, and at anything "above" the ship (since it has a "dorsal" aspect to its arc of fire). My own personal short-hand...sorry!

    re: mission pod
    Yep - I wasn't really sure how to implement the mission pod using the Spacedock rules, so I accounted for it by putting the photon torp launchers in it, putting the impulse engines in it (since photos of the Nebula never show any impulse engines! ) and giving it the best sensor suite possible.

    That's actually an interesting aside, now that you mention it: detachable mission pods. To implement them in Spacedock, I guess you'd assign a certain number of SUs to the pod, and fill it with various goodies, and allow it to be switched around (I ran into the same hiccup with my Danube runabout - which I'm not posting, because I'm not particularly happy with it; it was the first SD design I did, and I basically "made it up", so it's not exactly canon! )

    Anyway, thanks for the points, guys!

    That's probably how I'd do it. If you assign a number of SU's to the detatchable pod, and assign certain features (eps power rating etc...) then you can post your design with several pods and anybody who feels like helping out could post additional pods as necessary. That would net you a large number of pods very quickly (assuming you were willing to let other people "mess with" your design).

    I don't know how close you are to my take on the Nebula system-to-system, but my writeup uses 2,406 SUs, so they're pretty close in that respect.

    So has anyone come up with a way to do the weapon pods now that the SRM is out?

    I really, really need to know
