This IS Your Father's Constitution Class

[Erik Filean]

My first fiddling with the TOS SRM was to modify the Constitution-class stats to create a version that conforms more or less to the famous Franz Joseph blueprints (or at least to FASA's very similar set, which is what I have). I can't help it--Steve's version is perfectly in sync with the TOS Enterprise as we saw it on screen, but like a lot of fans, I grew up with the FJ version and the firm belief that there were port and starboard phaser banks that were never fired on the show.

I didn't change the torpedo launcher, however. FJ was just plain wrong about the torpedoes firing from the dorsal saucer bubble, and that's all there is to it.
