In ST3 the thing let rip with a nasty little zap. In all recent uses it's spat out its load with a rather limp "ffffut!". The disruptor cannon on the Vorcha class in Redemption was similarly unimpressive.<p>It's likely TPTB just prefer to animate on the green disruptor blasts, rather than go to the effort of a torpedo, with its initial "launching" flash.<P>------------------<BR>"Is there anyone there with a gun?"<br> - On the Hour<br> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Tahna Los</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,3,8,12,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 08, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:32 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Actually, I think that the use of the front cannon in Redemption is pretty good. Coloured bolts which provide more punch if you ask me.<p>Don't forget the BoP in STVI. Very vicious there. And perhaps the one in ST:Generations.<p>I've also noticed something, the forward cannons on the Vor'Cha and the K'Tinga cruisers in Way of the Warrior shot out lasers rather than torpedoes, which I found strange. As well, nowadays, it appears that the forward cannon is no more than a simple disruptor cannon simply beefed up.<P>------------------<BR>I can resist anything.......<br>Except Temptation <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,3,8,20,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 08, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:03 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The Vor'cha has always been equipped with a huge disruptor on the front.<p>*whispers "Phasers!"* <IMG SRC="http://solareclipse.net/Forums/wink.gif"><P>------------------<BR>"And though I once prefered a human being's company, they pale before the monolith that towers over me."<br>--<br>They Might Be Giants<p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Tahna Los</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,3,8,20,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 08, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:18 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Okay, some sort of Disruptor phaser ok?
