[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nimrod: [QB] Yes, I didn't mean it to be the sole destruct-system, just a tactical addition for captains in need of crippling a battlegroup, if they couldn't let anyone past that point in space maybe. I think the torps could be programmed to go off through a timer, syncronizing themselves through radiowaves. If two bombs are placed next to eachother and the second bomb detonates 1/1000sec (or shorter?) after the other, wouldn't the first shockwave travel at double the speed when hit in the back by the second shockwave? I didn't read ballistics or pyro-thermic physics in school, but it sounds plausible to my little ears. (IMO, the end-scene in "Warhead" was a real diamond-in-the-rough, FX-wise...) Therefore, a Sovvie-magazine (containing 150+ torps) would severely damage at least twenty 500m-cruisers close-by, as the stupid enemies in Trek usually likes to stand next to the ship when firing the decisive salvo, like in "Yesterday's Enterprise" or Kruge's dumbass-move.
