Once the basic idea was approved, it was time to go in and refine the details.
Here, you see the ship's on-board weapon system. There were three units; one for each warp grid mount.
Positioned ahead of the warp grid base, I came up with a way that the units could be rotated into various
firing positions and also swung out far enough to be able to fire aft (backwards) and cover the ship's tail.
The warp 'bubble', (allowing the ship to travel faster-than-light), envelops the ship using three warp
grids or 'projector's. The bubble could be "tuned" and refined, allowing adjustments in the ship's
speed & position, and here's a sketch explaining how the grids move to accomplish that.
