[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Well, it might be good to get some more questions out: Phelps' List of Weird Questions about Torpedoes (please add your own) 1) Why do torpedoes glow? 2) Why do TOS torpedoes glow white, TNG torpedoes orange? 3) Why do quantum torpedoes glow blue? 4) What's up with the shifting streaks of light coming out of the orange core in the movies? 5) How's a big launcher different from a small launcher? 6) Are there different sizes of torpedo casings? The Defiant's MSD would indicate so, although "Valiant" seemed to show the usual full-size prop. 7) Why do recent ships have more launchers? Is it to cover for the lack of a guidance system? 8) What's the difference between the different "Marks" of torpedoes? Is "Mark" a company, as indicated in the DS9 ep where Sisko meets Kasidy and they refer to Mark as a company? 9) Are quantum torpedoes ever housed in different casings? We've seen one in the usual coffin (sorry) in "Valiant", though Drexler's DS9TM pictures and Eaves' FC sketches show a pointy casing. 10) Why are they always painted black? 11) Are they deliberately the size of a coffin? 12) Have we ever seen other shapes for torpedoes? 13) Are any more powerful than others? . . . .
