It seems that these turrets do not compare to the power of Federation ship phasers, nor, even so, are ships in the SW as maneuverable. 217, I suppose I was thinking of the turbolaser turrets on star destroyers, and perhaps you were.

“a warship ”

“Our missions are peaceful, our weapons defensive”

“This is not a ship of war, it’s a ship of peace.”

Sorry couldn’t resist… :-)

I think there is no way they could have kept TOS Enterprise intact and expected a modern audience to relate to it. Today's audience is more technologically aware and a warship that has obvious structural weak points to target would not be credible. I'm not a fan of the redesign (or rotating barrel, or cannons on the Kelvin) but I don't think it's a fair to say they were changing for changes' sake. 220- I begin to think JJ’s group changed them as a statement to the existing fans.
