Favorite Torpedoe

What I meant by easier is that 1) Yes they are cheaper 2) They can be loaded faster and 3) you can carry more of them.

I'm not convinced that 2 and 3 are correct. A torpedo is a torpedo. They are about the same size, so how could you carry more photons? And if the loader loads at a certain speed, why should one type take longer?

Safety reasons and such. And Photon torpedos are smaller. And even if they aren't, my favorite of the torpedos is the Photon.

They are the same size, and quantum torpedoes are just as safe as photons...

Got to be tri colbalt torpedoes

super powerful!

Well the explosive yeald of a quantum is higher than a photon, this may make a quantum heavier in mass and thus slower at accelerating towards it's target. My theory of why the sovereign fires quantums out the front and photons out the back is because it needs the faster acceleration if it fires out the rear because the ship is already moving away from it's target.

I think it can fire either one either way. Coincidence. Maybe I'm wrong... Can someone help out and post specs. on quantum/photon torpedoes?

Let's look at it in car talk:

0-60

photon torpedo = 3.7 seconds (WOAH! Its like a 450 hp lightweight porsche!)
Quantum torpedo = 4.5 seconds (Slower but packs more yeild because of the weight!)
Los' semi-funny groovy bomb = 10.4 seconds (Sorry, had to throw it in)

Do we know for sure that the quantum is slower?

Seriously, this info. has to be somewhere. I'm gonna look for it.

What, a 275hp Mustang Bullitt doesn't count for *beep* no more?

I'm not sure what all torpedoes are like except for photon and quantum, so i put quantum

Transphasic Torpedoes are the best beacuse just one of them can blow up one borg cube

True true...

My favorite is the type that the Enterprise-A had in The motion picture. The typical photon torpedo is red, but the one's in TMP were bright blue and had little streamers of light coming off of them as they flew. I thought they kinda looked like quantum torps cause of their color, even though they arent.....

Has any one seen a plasma torpedo i have jus got them on st bridge commander and they are great they are like transpahsic but they are extreamly volitile and can blow the torpedo tubes up because they tend to leak some plasma as they are going out of the tubes

because its expensive to build/carry.

voyagerlr · **Wed Mar 05, 2003 10:31 am**

i put tri colbalt!

their ultimatrely cool - and almost led toa voyager conspiracy!

Interstelar_Concordium_CM · **Wed Mar 05, 2003 10:57 am**

i forget wat tricobalt torpedoes r, they sound fammiliar i cant put a finger on it hough

voyagerlr · **Wed Mar 05, 2003 11:19 am**

useed in caretaker part two. to destroy the caretakers array

Interstelar_Concordium_CM · **Wed Mar 05, 2003 11:23 am**

ooooo ya. i love it wen voyager crashed on that snow planet in ur pic voyagergrl

voyagerlr · **Wed Mar 05, 2003 11:31 am**

thanx , whats ur sig?
