Meh, it's really up in the air, so just arm whatever you wish wherever you wish I say.
Personally, I reckon the planet pounders are on the sides (p'raps it rolls to fire alternate shots while the previous cannon cools or some such) mainly because in the first cbani you see the lucifer in, you see the side prong things close up, quivvering with glowing tips (Ack! I _KNEW_ I forgot something
), as it's comming into a system to attack.
Then, in the vprime cbani, the satis flies past the camera in orbit, with the lucy in the background, but instead of the arms pointing at the planet, the side....lump things are - in the general direction of the fleeing satis' approximate point of origin.
See?However, it's too vague for anything solid, and really not worth a debate, so do whatever you like best.
Anyway, does anyone know of a way to get glowpoints to flickker like engine glows? AFAIK, it can't currently be done properly without using actual engine glow-points, and most people have the shivans using those weird firey ones atm. Creating multiple glow banks with different blink timings would work, but it's an incredibly cumbersome way to do it no?
