Follow the link. They had 38 in one of the eralier episodes. . . and since then they HAVE used them all. Must have made some more.

It isn't THAT hard to do. The most complicated part would be the guidance system. Other than that, all you need to do is replicate a case and draw antimatter from the ship's stores.

I think that they had forty at the start of the show.

You're right... it shouldn't be hard to make at all. But I remember Janeway saying at the end of "Caretaker" that they had a limited amount with no way to restock them.

Yes but they could have desgined there own thing and used it.

I did'nt do it.

Perhaps the Maquis had a technique for creating Photon Torpedoes. After all, how else could they obtain weapons other than stealing them.
Which reminds me, how much Antimatter do they have anyways?

They'd either use their power-consuming antimatter generator to make some from other (matter) material, or buy some from alien space travellers who might use it too.
Maybe they're secretly cloning crew down on deck 12! Or horrid transporter accidents go unresolved!

Lets look at it this way: torpedo casings should be easy to replicate. The parts for the drive system should eb as well and not to hard for the engineers to put together. Matter can be taken in from the ramscoops and anti-matter made in the charge reversal devise the TNG:TM describs. So over a few months torpedoes should be able to be replaced. The treknology is already there.
Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :
That is true Cargile, or else how would the crew have been able to create the Delta Flyer? Anyway, the real problem here is the crew count. It goes from 140 to another number whenever crew counts are needed. The Doc says this, Janeway says that, Seven says she narrowed two people onboard she could date out of another number of the overall crew count, etc.
