What are the torpedoes in Star Trek?
A torpedo was a self-propelled, self-guided weapon. Torpedoes of some type were part of the standard weaponry of most Starfleet vessels in the 22nd to 24th centuries. Torpedoes were primarily used in space combat as an alternative to directed energy weapons such as disruptors and phasers.
What is the difference between a photon and quantum torpedo?
The 2010 MMORPG Star Trek Online features quantum torpedoes. Their characteristic differences from photon torpedoes is higher velocity and higher damage per torpedo, but slower reload rate. Some Federation NPC vessels are equipped with these, as well as all Dominion NPC ships.
How many torpedoes does Voyager have?
Voyager Used 123 Of Its 38 Torpedoes Over The Course Of The Series.
How many torpedoes Does the enterprise carry?
She carried a combined crew and passenger load of 1,012. Defensive systems included 10 phaser banks, 250 photon torpedoes, and a high capacity shield grid; there are some 4,000 power systems in all aboard ship.
Are photon torpedoes possible?
Photon torpedoes are possible, but the technology would need to be heavily refined for us to do so. Photon torpedoes are possible, but the technology would need to be heavily refined for us to do so.
How powerful are Star Trek torpedoes?
The energy output of a photon torpedo, according to the Star Trek Technical Manuals is a maximum theoretical yield of 25 isotons and a maximum rated yield of 18.5 isotons.
Do photon torpedoes go through shields?
Photon torpedoes are a standard ship-based weapon armed with an antimatter warhead. According to the original notes to TOS and The Making of Star Trek, photon torpedoes are energy shielded to allow armor-penetration. Several episodes seem to suggest this (TNG: “Suspicions”).
When did enterprise get photon torpedoes?
During the episode Star Trek: Enterprise: Sleeping Dogs (2002), Malcolm gains altitude for a sinking Klingon ship by firing Klingon photon torpedoes. A bottle of “Dorton’s Best” Kentucky bourbon (without the label this time) makes its second appearance in the series when Trip and Archer are having a drink together.
How did Voyager replace torpedoes?
The issue is that Voyager starts with “38 torpedoes” but somehow uses way more through the series. I submit that they simply replicated the torpedo body/warp sustainer and then split the existing torpedo warhead antimatter into smaller amounts for specific purposes.
How much is an Isoton?
This would mean that 1 isoton is approximately 5.14 megatons to 2D.
Would torpedoes work in space?
As mentioned previously, space is a vacuum, so air resistance doesn’t exist. Firing a torpedo in space will simply make the torpedo travel in a straight line, with or without thrusters, forever and ever until it hits something.
What is a disruptor Star Trek?
A disruptor is a type of directed energy weapon technology used among many non-Federation races and cultures. Disruptors fire bolts of highly-charged plasma (technically, negatrons/antiprotons). These weapons can be used on a variety of settings, ranging from Stun (concussion/neural shock) to Disruption.
