And that's the reason why I don't get my hopes up.

It's a typical Cryptic move, giving out only 2/3 of the weapon configuration most people use. How many people run 4 photon torpedo launchers on a cruiser? As I see it people with the Galor class have two choices. Yellow-green rainbow or they put the spiral waves in the bank waiting for better times and use 6 beams of another energy type. And last time they gave special ship weapons as a featured episode reward (blue phasers) they were limited to one front and one aft..... Personally I would love them as crafted items, but crafting is Klingon.

I run 4 photon torpedo launchers on my crusier. I ran them on my Excelsior and now I continue to run them on my Galor.

4 Photon Torpedo Launchers X 3 Green Projectile Weapon Officers DOFFS = Lots-o-Pew-Pew
