    Default Main Weapon

    Did they retcon it? It looks different to me, it seemed like it was two weapons.



    It seemed to fire normally from the top part, then some sort of uber volley from the (I think) new lower bit.

    Thoughts?

    Ha yes, never noticed that. I don't think it fired the same way though, I think the last times we've seen it only the top part fired.

    Well, remember the last time we used it, we did not have the capacity we do now cause we didn't own the bridge..

    I have to say, when Destiny deployed her big gun in this episode, my reaction was all "you go, girl!".

    Have I mentioned I love that ship? I love that ship.

    Goodbye and Good Travels, Destiny!

    I was going with the oft-used literary conceit that all ships are girls.

    And just because two ships, um, "dock", doesn't mean they both can't be girls, you know!

    And thus, a new pick-up line was born: "Hey Baby, I request permission to dock with you for the purpose of exchanging... data."

    Do you know any girls that have big long guns attached to their underside? Destiny is definitely a male.

    They should really give the main weapon a proper name. Eli could come up with a good one lol

    You obviously don't know much about the insect world - look up "ovipositor, insect", and then ask yourself - what do bees, ants, and wasps stick you with? And what sex are they?

    She could be a girl with a nasty stinger. Wouldn't be the first time.

    Goodbye and Good Travels, Destiny!
