Talk:Plasma torpedo

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I have a question about the picture of the Romulan Warbirds. What evidence is there that they are firing plasma torpedoes? Given what we know from them from "Balance of Terros," plasma torpedoes did not have the flexibility or capabilities of photons, with the exception of firepower. The torpedoes fired by the warbirds look and act a lot more like photons (except for the color). They even are fired at a high rate, something the plasma torpedoes did not demonstrate in "Balance of Terror." I would find it more believeable that they are photons, but that romulans still keep a plasma launcher on the warbirds. So yeah, what evidence do we have that these are specifically plasma torpedoes? --OuroborosCobra 17:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image of Warbird firing plasma torpedoes

There is an image here of Warbids firing torpedoes from "The Die is Cast". The caption says that they are firing plasma torpedoes. There is no evidence of this. It has been established that Warbirds carry both plasma and photon torpedoes. We have never seen green plasma torpedoes. There is nothing in the dialogue or script that says they are firing plasma torpedoes (in fact, the script just says that the fleet fires phaser). I don't think we can say that they are either plasma or photon torpedoes. I am therefore removing the image. --OuroborosCobra 00:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
