[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [qb]No, I'm thinking that they fired subspace/other forcefields onto the target which contained plasma inside. No physical casing involved. The pulse phasers work in about the same manner.[/qb][/QUOTE] That wasn't the issue, the issue was that how do they track and follow targets, even at warp? Technically when pulse weapon leaves its launcher, it's gonna go in a straight line until it runs out of energy/containment field collapses, unless something influences it. However, the plasma weapons used by the Romulans in TOS, SFB, SFC I and II [i]follows[/i] you around, you can't dodge it. Another note, the plasma weapon use in TOS was never referred to as a torpedoe. Then again, the Romulan weapon used in TNG and DS9 weren't called torpedoes either, at least not directly. However, visually, they were just the effects for a normal photon torpedoe, colored green. Also, the other sorts of weapon projections, disruptor beam and pulse, are shown in addition to this torpedoe effect. The torpedoe in "Enterprise" uses old-style reaction drive (i.e. rocket motor), so no glowy-glowy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
