Voyager had phasers on the pylons. The Enterprise-D actually got phasers added to the nacelles, of all thing, in a later season. I don't think either ship was actually seen firing them, though.

@VindictiveJudge @sj_zero You're right about both. I was going to mention how close the phaser emitter was to the actual nacelle on the F, but Voyager's phaser is just as close. And there are instances I think of Voyager firing phasers from all angles, but specific episodes don't pop into my head. But hey, it's something fun to talk about!

I didn't even know it was there. Honestly, having a phaser emitter right next to a hinged point only raises way more questions for me!
