[edit] Warhead?
For god sake... what is the warhead of the Spatial torpedo?! Atomic Device? fusion device? A Regular Bomb? What?!?!?!
- they never say, so we can only speculate. from the image of the warhead, i'd personally lean toward thermonuclear, with the pinkish stuff being a dyed mix of dueterium and tritium.- mithril
- I agree, considering that Spock said primitive atomic weapons were used in the Earth-Romulan war.
[edit] Number of launchers?
Isn't it supposed to be 4 front launchers and 2 back launchers? That's what it looks like on the model.
[edit] Replaced?
Well if the spatial torpedoes were replaced then why are they still seen in the armory throughout season 3 and 4. This clearly shows that they are still there.
- your right the torpedoes are still there.
- even if Photon's supplanted Spatial's on the NX class, i find it unlikely that every earth fleet ships got the upgrade. so it's likely it remained the standard torpedo weapon through the romulan war.
- The photonic torpedoes may have been in small supply as well. It is the 22nd century afterall.

[edit] Manual vs. automatic
Not sure if this statement is accurate:
- Unlike later photon and quantum torpedoes, the loading and firing of spatial torpedoes was partly manual.
Something similar was also noted at the torpedo bay article. But I'm not sure that's accurate, given Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The process for loading photonic torpedoes in TWOK 's Enterprise looks significantly more manual than that of the NX-01. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 15:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
