The Lore and Design of the Calypso

I will take a closer look in game when it is avaiable. Those pulse areas don't look very "sensorish", to me at least.

It's probably easier to install phaser emitters over the specialist sensors and uprate the EPS power taps, than it would be to install all new emitters and conduit.

there are several sensor types that act similar like a deflector, they face the way they scan. These specialized things are usually not part of a normal starship. They were installed in these extensions where the pulse weapons are now

That makes more sense. I don't remember seeing features of sensor arrays on the exterior of a ship before and never gave it thought. I now consider myself educated. Sort of.

Huh, guess STO was right about the NX Class surviving...

Bear in mind STO's NX-class ships are SCE "replicas"! The only original NX ships left at that time are museum pieces.

(And I'd love to see an in-game version based on Doug Drexler's ideas for a Season 5 refit that adds a secondary hull).
