Maybe the original concept with the laser disc in the center of the equator (instead of right above it) could be used:
Hehe I remember the first time I saw Mimas in an astronomy book I couldn't get over how much the Death Star looked like it. I think the firing disc being on the equator for DSII would be great, not just for variation, but it would also look more like a dedicated weapon to me.
