[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shipbuilder: [QB] Despite some issues with the DS9TM, there are still some jewels remaining in the text. In regards to this discussion about the new torpedo launchers I found this.... "The launch of a photon or quantum torpedo from the runabout involves a fire-and-forget system, in the absence of a magnetic tube launcher. The guidance and navigation package of the torpedo attempts to keep to the programmed course, but may have dificulty during the first 3.7 seconds of powered flight." So here we have a canon reference to the pod mounted compact torp launcher with no mag coils that has difficulty achieving a lock-on during the first 3.7 seconds of flight.....SOUND/LOOK FAMILIAR??? Looks like this type of launcher has actually been around since DS9, just now being integrated into larger ships as sort of a close-in (assuming sublight due to the absence of mag coils) weapons system. Of course, it also looks like they aren't limited by the pod size which could only fire 4 full size torps, but now they are integrated with magazines giving them a higher capacity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
