      Exactly. I think that the "lepton cannons" are really the engines characteristic of medium Ishiman ships (Gunship/HVD). The openings in the front are ramscoops (why manuvering doesn't use fuel). The weapons are probably similar to that of the HVC, but maybe with rapid protopulse cannons instead of fusion pulse.

      Actually, you are only seeing this vessel at one specific angle. For all we know, they could be lepton cannons, and the beams wouldn't hit that front thing if the lepton beams were at a different height than that of the front thing.

      The engine theory seems most likely to me. If you look, there's a rod on top of them which could well be the Lepton Cannon.

      I must admit, they DO look like engines...

      I would prefer to think of them as engines, because then I wouldn't have to sit here pondering why laser beams have square shooting thingies

      I would give you an opinion if I could see your ship. But the image won't come through for me.

      Hmmmm... That's strange, same with me. It always showed before though. Strange...
