[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] So far, no shuttle has been explicitly shown launching torpedoes. The one flown by Picard and Worf in "Insurrection" did launch microtorp-looking things aft, but we never learned what those were. Perhaps they were just those fancy tachyon pulses that destabilized Data's shields? John Eaves has a "torp tube" in his drawings for the shuttle, but those need not be considered "official". Runabouts have carried torpedoes in some episodes, but the only time we saw one of them really firing a torp was in "The Search pt II". The torps emerged from under the ship (as seen from the inside - we never got exterior view). The runabout doing the firing did NOT carry the dorsal pod some runabouts sometimes have. Nor did more than one of the runabouts in "Jem'Hadar", even though both of the craft accompanying the Odyssey were supposed to have torpedoes. So it seems the dorsal pod has nothing to do with torpedoes (except perhaps serving as a targeting sensor and datalink for a pack of torp-armed runabouts?). Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
