I am the Admiral, and I say the torpedo tubes need to go there!

Seriously, when engaging in combat with the Endeavour (or its engineering section at least), I really wish those two thingies were torpedo launchers. I think it would look awesome.

I wonder what they are supposed to be? Just some fancy "greeble", or did Thomas have an idea about the purpose?

Apparently no one has an opinion on this.

The Sovereign class Torpedo launcher is in a similar position as you'd like for a launcher on that Odyssey in game. I'd kinda prefer...

That launcher myself over launching from under the deflector dish.

As to making that a launcher on your Ody... I don't know. Hardpoints kinda need to be in similar places across variant parts. There is some wiggle room, but generally they stay pretty close.

have you checked to see if the quantums from the wide-angle launcher come from there? because that's the turret that inspired the whole wide-angle launcher in the first place​​

The torpedo hardpoint on the Sovereign is under the deflector. Doesn't matter what torp you use, that's the hardpoint.

I have never actively looked for it, but isn't it possible to have multiple torpedo hard points (for one arc)

From the movies, I seem to remember the Sovereign having its quantum launcher under the saucer ("Quantum Torpedo Turret"), but also several other launchers, and I think one of them was under the deflector.
The Nemesis Space Battle features it at least:

That is the scene I was reminded of in a STO youtube video with the Endeavour, there was a moment where it would have fit perfectly the Nemesis scene.

Well, it is an Eng ship, so some sort of intake, perhaps?

It's where Dual Beam Banks come from and it looks *horrible*... specially when they fire up through your Chevron.
