Keep in mind the Professor's unstable insanity is probably the cause of why it has such desctructive features.

Well yeah i guess u do have a point there, Sir Knight.. Hey i just noticed something too.. On the right side of the PES's bridge (same level with the captian's seat) there is a microscope thinga-ma-bob. Looks really like the one T'Poh uses in Enterprise at her bridge workstation.. Curious..

Ok correct me or add this if i'm wrong.. The PE ship has: A sauna, hugemongus cargo space, kitchen, dining table for 8+, the bridge, laundry brig, captain's room, a pretty big bathroom, servant/delivery boy's quarters.. How does all this fit into a cigar shaped vasseL?

Kind to think of it.. I never seen the Nimbus in action before.. (Getting chopped to half or blasting their own starbase dosen't count). I mean Melvarrr did appear hostile when Zap arrived to "court-marshal" the gang. Why did he/How did he come abord the PE ship with a Warbird up thier asses? Where did the Nimbus go?

I still stand by my first comment that the Professor installed them due to the fact that he's got unstable sanity. Or maybe he just wants his ship to have as many features as possible, reguardless of the fact that they probably won't be of use. After all, remember in The Route Of All Evil? ("I had this net installed for catching Giraffe's!" )

What episode was this that the PE ship destroyed DS9???

"Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles" Although it's not an exact copy of DS9, since it doesn't have an habitat ring. "Resemble, but legally distinct."

For me, it's obvious why the PE ship is armed, it's because of their destinations. Would you be willing to go to a dangerous, far away planet without some armament? and besides, it's not that heavily armed. It looks impressive yes, but it's probably lightly armed for future standards. I mean, for a 19th century infantryman, a modern soldier's equipment (kevlar vests, assault rifles, frag grenades, IR goggles) would be overkill, but nowdays, it can't match up against tanks or helicopters. It's probably the same case here.

I think it'd still be heavily armed even if they WEREN'T going to deadly destinations. I mean - c'mon, Farnsworth built it!

Think about it. In the 1600s, the ships traveling to and from America were heavily armed (because of pirates). It's no surprise that an the frontier of space travel there would be heavily armed ships.
In other words, what Javier Lopez said, except with a little historical evidence.
