[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] Fusion is about as advanced as nuclear technology goes, I mean it is what makes stars go boom after all. As for the spatial torpedoes, I took them as being an early form of low yield subspace warhead. I mean they must have been used at some point by the Earth of the Federation before they were banned. Of course the reality is that the writers were just talking out of their collective arses again. They should have just called them torpedoes and be done with it. Either way this is a Masao thread, so again, just ignore Enterprise and everything within. [/qb][/QUOTE]I assumed that they were called spatial torpedoes because at that time, Earth had navies ( Malcom's father mentioned that he wanted his son to join the Royal Navy), and would therefore have boats and submarines that utilized torpedoes. Since there were more than just one type of torpedo being produced on/by Earth, It might be just a name to differentiate the two different mediums in which they are used. Reed also mentions a Romulan mine having the same yeild as a Triton-class spatial torpedo, or something like that. Just like there are surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, ship-to-ship missiles, and air-to-ground missiles in today's militaries. [/QB][/QUOTE]
