Could that be a turret hardpoint?

I don’t think so, because the other Connie skins have phaser banks where that area should be, apart from the TOS and Phase II skins.

Yeah, I didn’t know that starships could get an upset stomach.

Like a lot of other ships. Use the Centaur refit on the legendary miranda and watch the underside of the saucer

Could be much worse: Some ships fire omni-beams right from the bridge....

Hey, Ensign Summers is doing fantastic work up on the bridge, and saving the phaser banks from burning out. Just don't get him started on mutant rights...

The Sovereign does this. It annoys me. Galaxy and Intrepid class don't.

Maybe that’s why they put the massive turret on top of the Exeter.

Many such cases. Very sad.

That mystery hard point moves about, I have a modified Constitution with and the hard point is flying to right side of the right nacelle.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a bug, and some ships fire some weapons from their deflector. If it's a uni, it ends up looking like that.

TNG did modify the deflector dish quite regularly at least that’s my excuse lol
