An odd box-shaped object is secured to the bottom of the
craft but I can't really tell what the purpose of it is (though a jutting
transparent cone would suggest it is an additional laser).  This box is also
too small to be landing gear and it just offsets the balance of the rest of the
ship.  I sometimes get the feeling that extras like these are added onto the
main model in order to provide more parts for builders, so just remove the box
from the ship and enjoy the extra pieces.

I figured it was there for something for kids to hold while "flying"
their ship around the room.  It works pretty well for this purpose.

It's two things in one: The proton torpedo launcher (hence the blue
cone), plus something to make the ship stand higher when on the ground
(kinda looks like it's floating, like in the movie).
