I neglected to put spoiler sign on this simply because if you like star trek enough to be here then you damn well have seen endgame...So...Transphasic torpedoes...I found were theseTT specs (non-canon) and some more TT Specs . I'd like to learn more about TT's but frankly the canon info is scarce, so I tried my best looked around and found somewhat semi-non-canon info. So how do they pack such a punch? Your first reaction would be to say simply there is a larger antimatter storage on board the torpedo but to me that is highly unsophisticated. I’m leaning more towards the idea of compressed antimatter. You read it right…but assumptions aside I hope to see this weapon in Nemesis.

People around the world may potentially have to wait months (or even longer) to see episodes that have just aired in North America, and this is an international board. To assume everyone here has seen "Endgame" just because you saw it months ago is to potentially incur the wrath of said people.

Of course, it also seems rather bizarre to be blamed for a lack of spoiler warnings in a thread you didn't actually create. Or to apologize for the same reasons. But, heck, let's not let that get in the way of a nice round of newbie-bashing.

You know what's really scary? If Braga would have convinced some people to use the earlier drafts of First Contact, transphasic torpedos would have been the new Starfleet weapon instead of quantums. He incuded them in those scripts, and the big Borg-battle would have had many destroyed Borg ships - destroyed by federation vessels with transphasic torpedos. It's scary how he finally managed to 'invent' them for Trek. And I'm quite sure his ablative armor was in some abandoned script version of an episode, too.

You want to know what's really scary? People like you decided that the "quantum" torpedoes that appear in the first draft of Star Trek First Contact were entirely the work of the great Satan Brannon Braga without the slightest shred of evidence. And that the decision to remove them was made by someone other than Braga, again based on nothing but speculation. And that on account of immature speculation like this, the poor guy has had and continues to have to deal with death threats from rapid fanboys. No wonder he isn't keen on extending an open invitation to Trekkies on the net to vote in online polls to choose what happens in every episode.

chro'Nicpain In'theass also ended up providing a spoiler warning anyway, simply my mentioning that he wasn't providing one.
Now, listen, koy...whatever. If you're going to talk about an episode that has not yeat aired/been released in a significant portion of the area in which our Forum-goers live, you will provide some sort of indication of that before spoiling anything. If you don't know which episodes this entails, just ask. I'm sure plenty of people around here will be happy to provide you w/ that information.
If you persist in the attitude you expressed above, you won't be given any more opportunities to post spoilers. Or anything else, for that matter.

OK, I have no idea who invented them, but given the fact that Ron Moore and Brannon Braga wrote the script and Braga was the one who wrote 'Endgame', it seems only logical to assume that it was his idea. The fact that evenyone keeps blaming 'The Killer-B's' for everything is caused by the fact that Berman and Braga are now in charge of the whole franchise. I don't think Braga is the source of all evil in the world, in fact, he's one of my favourite writers, but later Voyager and now Enterprise show that he's obviously not able to handle so much power. Since he is his own boss it bacame worse. I think that's a fact, too. I don't know what's your opinion about me, but I have to correct you; I am not such a 'crazy fanboy'. I'm just really disappointed with Endgame and speculated about the origin of the ideas for that show.

This is a thread i would have rather seen stay dead. Since Nevod (and later boy'smelled Like'poo) are just pulling bullshit technobabble out of their asses (or in koy's case, pulling bullshit out of other people's asses), why wouldnt this be designs, artwork and creativity.. there's hardly a shred of anything thats actually been on Trek here, except for those contentious Endgame spoilers.
