Re: SFdebris : Generations
Theres green torpedo looking things flying around, but I can't tell if they're torpedos or a pulse weapon.

Perhaps you're right. Still leaves the question of why the GEN torpedoes were green, though.

Was it ever stated in cannon that those are infact massive bunker/planet-busting disruptors?Captain Seafort wrote:Look at their point of origin - those are disruptors.kostmayer wrote:Theres green torpedo looking things flying around, but I can't tell if they're torpedos or a pulse weapon.

Re: SFdebris : Generations
I mean, it's just my opinion, but those shots look a lot more like torpedoes than disruptors to me.

They fire pretty darn quickly for torpedoes, or at least for Klingon torpedoes.
True enough, its assumption. but they looks like uber disruptors to me.

Re: SFdebris : Generations
There's also their sound. Torps sound like a passing missile where the disruptors have a different sound from their emitters.
It may be guess work all around but to me they are disruptors.

Re: SFdebris : Generations
Well if the torpedoes from GEN was in fact some sort of enhanced torpedo, they were't really doing too much damage. From the damage we have seen we got some small breaches and buckling.

That was definitely a dumb move.Deepcrush wrote: Who else here is pissed that the E-D fired... ONCE during the whole battle before cloaking the BoP? Where the hell was Worf during this... oh right, Riker said to wait!.
Riker is at the command of the most powerful ship of the Federation, capable of firing multiple Phaser strikes per seconds and torpedoes in bursts of 4-5 at a time every 2-3 seconds, and he has Worf fire 1 single shot.
They could have overwhelmed the BoP's defences with the firepower they had.
The E-D was taking a pounding, yes, but it took what, 14-20 shots before the Warp Core gave in?
While being unshielded?
They should have had more than enough time to pulverize the BoP if Riker had been a bit brighter, and they didn't even need to figure out the shield trick

Anytime you're in a bad position you need to do only one thing... "Mr Worf, you may fire at will."
