Subject: Miniature Speculation...
So...the UNSC's tubular "surface detail" turned out to be a secret new weapon, hmmmm? If the same approach can yeild cryptic hints as to what awaits us in FB3, then let us speculate...I just happen to have a few Israeli ships in front of me from Salute, too. [Note: This is silly, not a genuine attempt at miniatureomancy...although if anyone has any theories/dark hints, feel free to make them] #1: Large (six-pointed...snicker) engines prominently sticking some way out the back, with big cylindical tanks hanging off them. Some form of solid-fuel booster? The smaller classes have similar shapes hanging off the "wing" edges, too... #2: Big, prominent Radomes. I wonder what mysterious EW devices lurk beneath, hrrrm? #3: Large, cylindrical pods on all ships with liiiiitle probes on the forward ends that just scream "weapons mount"...the BB sticks these on big vanes, too. Cooling? Or, perhaps, ammunition feeds... #4: The Sabra has a very big cylindrical module slung under the nose, with a weaponlike probe at the forward end. A spinal mount, perhaps....?
