[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Remember in "Genesis" where a smug Worf was testing out their brand new torpedo system? That coulda been it. I've no doubt that the old system could still be there, but the fact remains that it could have been used in a variety of situations. The attack on Chin'toka, for example, where Starfleet was trying to destroy as many of the OWPs as possible before they came online. The extra tubes we see here seem capable of handling standard-size torpedoes (microtorps aside, we've only really seen one size anyway). At the most, I'm guessing they have no capacity for warp launch or specialized payloads - the larger GCS launchers would be more capable of launching oddly-shapped probes. I'd think that they were capable of rapid fire bursts... We see three launch in that one instance, followed by three more. This means that the aft saucer launcher is capable of at least two per tube per burst, and probably three - unless it was the aft shuttlebay launcher that let loose three torpedoes in the subsequent volley, which therefore suggest that the top launchers are capable of three-round bursts too. Sternbach said a GCS carried 250 torpedo casings under standard conditions. All things being equal, the Sovereign probably carries a similar number, given its more military role. Given how long they were blasting away at random, they could have easily expended that much of the course of the battle. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
