Mainly because the hole for mounting the stand is normally in this 
section. Otherwise you could mount them vertically if you liked.

Would work okay for the strike and light cruises but the forward hull 
might obscure the weapons pods on the heavy and escort. Not good to 
have your main weapons firing straight into the back of your bridge.

Mine are all vertical.

With the exhausts pointing backwards. ;-)

I mount mine in "diamond" formation.
