[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [qb] I hadn't thought of that. It makes sense. If the torps have antimatter inserted just before they are loaded into the launcher, it would both provide a reason for the torp bays (someone would need to insert it, I suppose) and mean that the torp storage area contains antimatter-less and therefore inert torps. [/qb][/QUOTE]Doesn't "Mr Scott's" state this very thing? I need to pull that book back out and peruse it again. Pretty certain it does state this. Regardless, this is how almost all munitions are stored wherever possible. The USAF stores all missiles and bombs w/o the fuses. While this does not make [b]them[/b] inert (they've still got explosives in them), it likely would make photorp's inert w/o the antimatter. However, an argument might be made for the propellant being an explosive device, which might or might not be the case - perhaps they've perfected a miniature A/M drive for the photorps. Of course, all of this is pure speculation, but I like it! Great job on the call-outs, Timo. Seems there's some honest, objective thinking in this thread. [/QB][/QUOTE]
