Is there any way to add a secondary aft weapon? Just womdering because having only a torpedo launcher, or aonly a phaser array creates a blind spot when in battles. Also will there be ventral phaser arrays as well for lower class vessels? :)

    In short yes.

    Long answer: Different types of ships get different ammounts of Fore and Aft weapon slots with each rank a good thing to look at so you can know how many your type of ship can have at each different rank is here.

    And here is the link to where this comes from.

    Eventually you will increase in rank, this will give you access to larger ships with more weppons so keep grinding and wate untill you reach Lt 11 and get a ship from Admral Quin

    On my RA ship I have 4 in the Front and 4 In the back of my Star Cruiser, this is the same for my Assault Cruiser as well. On my Advanced Escort I only have 4 front and 3 back. So all my big power is in the front of that ship because it turns on a dime.

    On my Lt. Commander Kilngon ship I have the Raptor over the Bird of Prey. I have a disruptor on the single back aft slot, and two duel banks (one Phaser one Disruptor) on the front with the photon torpedo. The disruptor on the back keeps the shield damage coming while I swing the ship around it doesn't turn as fast as the Bird of Prey. When I am facing the enemy I cut right through their shields and photon them for maximum damage and then keep their shields down as I swing around for the finishing blow. In PvP on the Klingon side you always have someone backing you up for the most, so if you swing around you may then be protecting their butt while they take a maximum shot at the target. And so on......

    So is there a reason I can't put a dual phaser bank on the aft of my heavy cruser?

    Yes, because dual weapons can't go in aft slots. Besides would you really want a dual phaser bank with it's small fireing arc in the rear, would make it hard to line up.
