So far: class 5= 64MT class 6= ? A photon torpedo is a high-explosive device. The zero-point initiator is powered by the detonation of an uprated photon torpedo warhead with a yield of 21.8 isotons, achieved through increased matter-antimatter surface area contact and introduction of fluoronetic vapor. 400 damage. class 7= ? Several episodes seem to suggest this (reference: TNG "Suspicions"). High Yield Photon Torpedoes At the start of the game, after the Gather Forces step, place your High Yield Photon Torpedoes Card beside your Ship Cards. Star Trekâs fictional yield is based on 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of matter and antimatter. class 8= ? While you have the High Yield Photon Torpedoes Resource, all of your Photon Torpedoes Upgrades for all of the ships in your fleet gain the following abilities: It then goes on to say that the theoretical limits of traditional photon torpedo technology, 25 isotons, was reached and that the Quantum torpedo was developed to exceed those limitations. The completed casing measures 2.1 x 0.76 x 0.45 meters and masses 247.5 kilograms dry weight. On the torpedo casings they were marked as PHOT1093 torpedoes. The detonation thus consists of the violent annihilation of the matter by the anti-matter. ... At maximum range, yield is reduced by 1/2. It doesn't have +Projectile Damage, but boosts Crit, and the Set bonus boosts the Set-Torpedo by giving it High Yield I on proc. Photon torpedoes loaded and ready to go. Variable-yield, a Quantum Torpedo usually releases more than double the energy of a standard Photon Torpedo in the 50-60 Isoton range. The most impressive and immediately destructive effect of a nuclear bomb is its shockwave. Please forgive me for bringing up such an old arguement. The torpedo warhead consists of a total of 1.5kg of anti-matter plus 1.5kg of conventional matter, totalling 3kg of matter. Starfleet used photon torpedo casings as coffins. 2. A photonic torpedo was a type of projectile weapon in use during the 22nd century by Earth Starfleet. This torpedo is part of the Photonic Arsenal space set obtained from the Dyson Joint Command reputation. (VOY: "Scorpion, Part II ") 320 isotons was the explosive yield of a Class 12, Mark VI long-range photon torpedo. These have yet to be developed. They operated at a core temperature of 323 °Celsius, and had the explosive yield of 320 isotons and the explosive range of 300,000 kilometers. If anyone can give me some websites or canon sources I'd much appreciate it. In the Star Wars radio drama, these were called photon torpedoes, a term from Star Trek.. The photon torpedo carries a guidance system and can home in on a target. Gravimetric Photon Torpedo Launcher. Kinetic Damage 90' targeting arc 0.5 sec activate 8 sec recharge 3081.3 Kinetic Damage (362.5 DPS) Destroys Voth Aceton Drones 33% chance: Upon Detonation, creates a 1k radius Gravimetric Rift for 3 sec that deals Kinetic Damage to any who enter A ship may either drop a torpedo from a port or chute, in which case they are essentially mines that are capable of tracking a target, or it may fire a torpedo with a torpedo launcher. The M/A reaction occurs at four times the rate of a standard warhead. Torpedo range can be extended by utilizing the matter / antimatter warhead to power the sustainer, although this causes a corresponding loss of warhead yield.1 For a mid-range yield the torpedo can achieve ranges of some 3,500,000 kilometres at sublight speeds. Rift damage now properly scales with EPG, and Rift pull now properly scales with ControlX. Torpedo range can be extended although this causes a corresponding loss of warhead yield. Gravimetric Photon Torpedo procs a Gravimetric Rift for each eligible target in Torpedo Spread (TS). This is what causes the majority of wide ranging damage. The yield of the Photon Torpedo was fully capable of destroying enemy vessels in a single volley or downing the enemy's defensive shields if they were so equipped. The Type-IX was nearly as common as the type II but had a higher yield of 25 isotons. These Torpedoes are limited in use and availability. The m/am reaction occurs at four times the rate of a standard warhead; the detonation energy is channelled through the initiator within 10-7 seconds and energizes the emitter, which imparts a tension force upon the vacuum domain. PHOTON TORPEDOES The torpedo most pervasively used by the Federation in Star Trek is the Photon Torpedo. If a photon torpedo has a 64 megaton yield, why does it take 6 to take out a city? 1999 M. J. Friedman My Brother's Keeper i. v. 61 Michael Jan Friedman bibliography. According to the TNG Technical Manual, Photon torpedos use 1.5 kg of matter and 1.5 kg of antimatter. ⦠Such as photon torpedoes, or the more secretive romulan singularity torpedo, which is very similar to quantum torpedoes in yield and range.
