[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Well as I said before, we're dealing with rather close quarters combat here so points about a torpedo's range are somewhat irrelevant to the discussion. Obviously if a torp can propell itself over long distances at high speed then they wouldn't need a rail, the fact that they do use rails is a pretty good indication that they are necessary. However the torpedos we've seen manuvering must have some way of generating thrust and there's certain details on the casing prop itself which certainly look like thrusters. So from this evidence it appears that the Defiant's aft launcers are apparantly adapted mine launchers. Hence the absence of any obvious torpedo tubes on the aft end of the model. As a side note; it appears that TBTB were thinking about self propelled torpedoes during the pre-production phase of ST:FC. You may recal the concept art and /or story boards showing the abandoned sequence where they were to use some pop-out launcher to detroy the borg beacon. Ok it was a Q-torp and the sequence was abandoned but the idea was still there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
