[edit] Photon torpedoes

Greetings!

Startrek.com's article claims this ships is armed with "at least photon torpedoes", however, here it inlcudes only beam weapons in the ships arsenal. I can clearly recall the ship firing beam weapons, but I can never recall it firing torpedoes. Is Startrek.com simply incorrect, or did the ship in fact fire a torpedo at some time?

A side point might be; Do Cardassian ships even USE photon torpedoes? I can't think of an instance where they have fired anything that can conclusively be referred to as a torpedo. There was the purple weapon in TNG: Ensign Ro, but that look more pulse-like than torpedo-like to me. Rogue Vulcan 18:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Star Trek.com's articles take a few liberties, I think. They have a lot of guesswork and supposition that is not supported by any canon evidence. I also do not recall them ever firing torpedoes.--31dot 18:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

but startrek.com is a permitted resource, so it can be noted in the background. Cardassians have been known to use at least plasma (the orbital weapon platforms) and quantum torpedoes, and matter/antimatter warheads (the dreadnought) that is what a photon torpedo basicly is too (in a smaller scale) so it's not totally unimaginable that some of their ships might have photorp launchers. --Pseudohuman 18:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hideki in VOY: Collective

I was watching VOY: "Collective" today on youTube, noticed that when the Delta Flyer was seen in the Borg shuttle bay, one of the alien vessels mentioned can be seen below it. Though the quality was low, the vessel appeared to be a Hideki class Cardassian vessel (or at least the CGI model of it). Can anyone with the DVD confirm? Thanks. --- Jaz 05:58, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Approximately when was the scene? — Morder 06:00, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe a third of the way into the episode. It's when Harry regains consciousness aboard the Delta Flyer. --- Jaz 06:07, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

While Harry is looking through the window or the scene where it zooms out? — Morder 06:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, found what you're talking about - it does have the same shape...but I couldn't tell you. — Morder 06:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Morder, can you upload a cap? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 06:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Borg Cube (internal).jpg was already going to :) — Morder 06:14, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Morder :-)

Definitely been modified from the original, the wings don't swing back into points, for example. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 06:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

And big circular holes in the front. Though I can see why the initial thought. Not really sure it's a ship though I'd bet that it is. — Morder 06:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

My guess is that they intended it to be an unknown alien, but figured it would be a short, dark shot, so they re-used the Hideki with some minor mods. Anyway, its speculative inconclusive, so I'm not going to make any page edits based on it. Thanks for you help team. --- Jaz 07:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
