How many Torpedoes did Voyager use on the Equinox? And how many do they have left? (I think there was a page for that, so can someone please repost it?)
Yes, yes, I've asked this question before. But hey, I haven't watched much Voyager until last weekend.
And could they have found a way to "manufacture" torpedoes? If they did that to shuttles, well, it wouldn't be THAT HARD to create a torpedo.......

In "Equinox, Part II": Four torpedoes in opening volley at warp, one torpedo while orbiting the planet, two more to blow off part of the port nacelle.
I think that's it. Seven...

Torpedoes would actually be quite easy to manufacture. All you need is a case, a guidance system, and an engine. Antimatter comes from the ship's pods. The most complicated part to build would probably be the case/containment field, or the computer. (Since you wouldn't want to be cannibalizing too many of the ship's internals. You'd probably look to trade for compatible computer tech. from other planets.)

What about the absolute ton of torpedoes used up in 'Night'? There was the "warp flare" (1), the three used on the spatial distortion (4), and at least 4 used on the Malon freighter (9).
Voyager's crew HAVE to be manufacturing torpedoes (about blooody time!). Their original stocks would have dried up by now (after 'Night'), if not before it.

In one of the first epsiodes they said they had only 39 torpedoes. Either they found a way to replace them or they must have meant 39 thousand...

If they can build the Delta Flyer they should be able to build about anything. I'd like to see them on an Ore gathering mission. We haven't seen them taking on supplies for some time.

And how is it that Equinox has a full load of torpedoes? You mean they have not used a single torpedo since coming to the Delta Quadrant? No wonder every race they meet has been kicking their butt. I used to keep track of the number of torpedoes that Voyager had (using the 38 in The Cloud as a reference) until I realized the writers threw that out the window along with the shuttles. Heck they can't even keep a consistent figure on the number of crewmen aboard ship. Everytime someone gives a figures it contradicts another episode.

"Full complement" in the Equinox's case was obviously not a full complement of torpedoes as a generalisation, seeing how they'd already used a couple torpedoes fighting off Voyager by that point.
This leaves us wondering why they said "full complement" au lieu of something like a full spread. "Complement" must be interchangeable with the number of torpedoes required for a task or something along those lines.
It's that or a writer goof.
