[QUOTE]Originally posted by Styrofoaman: [QB] All this provided that you are useing either quantum torpdeos or preloaded photons. Otherwise you have to count in the reactant injection time. (Again, most likely about a second. Seen injection presses shoot 50# of resin in .9 seconds) [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shipbuilder: [qb] Actually, "slapping another" torp in is almost exactly what I think it would have to do. The torp travels up into a breach area from the magazine chute, something seals the breach from the next torpedo that is in line in the chute, and then you have a flash of EM charge that propels the torp out of the tube. The only time required is for the seal mechanism to open and close, a torp to move into the breach, and some type of capacitor to recharge. Mechanically, all of this could occur in less than a second with current technology (i.e. mechanisms from a GAU-8 cannon operate at a MUCH faster rpm granted with a much smaller projectile but we are talking 24th century capabilities that should be more advanced), the only potential drawback from today's tech is the capacitor charging time, but again 24th century tech should be able to handle it.
