ok in my perhaps not so many years of growing up with startrek, i haven't really cleared up a matter that concerns weapons, i myself am not scientist and do not claim to be educated in the area of nuclear or particle weapons and so that is said to be theoreticlly possible but not very finacially viable in todays world, but non the less the ideas behind the weapons we are allowed to witness by the magic of CGI are based on real scientific possibilities such as photons and particle waves etc..., so i have posted this thread not waffle on like i seem to have done so far (please excuse this) but to discuss all of the types of weaponary and technology behind them.
for example: i would like to belive that a photon torpedo is a deadly weapon as claimed in many ST series and movies by the delightfull hull breech it brutally carves into the hull of an enemy ship that is just asking for it (and gets it with style most of the time) but how do photons or should i say photons torps affect an enemy more so than say a tacticle nuke, im ignorant to this topic at the best of times but them we come on to Quantum torpedos, and im puzzled, i beleive it uses sub space energy or zero point energy to inflict damage onto what ever it should come into contact with but why upgrade this?,
i guess each of them has their own upside and downside but i would just like to clear up any matters concerning weapons fans of the site may have,
On a slightly different note i am not sure that this thread should be here in this section or science and tech???
but anyway post any info and anything weapons related in the startrek universe if you want.
