[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Naah. Tricobalt weapons (or computer simulations thereof) were used to "destroy" Kirk's ship in TOS "A Taste of Armageddon". Since the Eminians were just another society to be completely subdued and re-educated by a trademark Kirk speech'n'fisticuffs, we got the impression that Eminian weapons tech wasn't all that advanced, either. The weapons in VOY might have been about as effective as a photon torpedo. Or then slightly less so. It did take two of them to destroy the array, and that through a series of internal explosions instead of instant vaporization. One torp could have destroyed the similarly sized Lysian command center in TNG "Conundrum". VOY "The Voyager Conspiracy" muddles up the issue somewhat, by listing the tricobalts as "illegal subspace weapons". But that doesn't mean they are supertech. they could be illegal because they represent a "dirty", primitive technology that produces unacceptable collateral damage. And we've never heard of the tricobalts being used against the Borg, or developed for that purpose. Nor the q-torps or regenerative phasers or any other weapons system, really - save for the original, failed Defiant. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
