Undiscovered Country's depiction of torpedoes during the final battle will always be my favourite. Often, torpedoes are depicted as slow-moving blobs.

[@DarthTaz]

The depiction of the torpedoes yes... the lack of phaser fire to try to hit the BoP no. (And if anyone says the BoP moves too quickly a blind phaser hit against no shields would do damage)

[@joeserrenti9857]

The photon torpedo sound used in TOS .. was made by recording a steel wound tension wire hit with another piece of metal , screwdriver, etc.... recorded and then slowed down to a sweet spot. First used in War of the Worlds , it was the sound from the green lit manta wing tips, aka, the skeleton ray .... It was later tweaked for Robinson Caruso on Mars .... After that Star Trek TOS ... ! Then reused again, by this time highly modified , George Lucas still wanted a physical recording of that sound and it appears throughout Star Wars in all kinds of places ...! It's just one of the best sounds to convey a powerful bundled energy blast !!! 😁

[@Rekaert]

Photons peaked for me in the period of the OS movies starting with Wrath of Khan. The photons during that time had that wonderful brighter core surrounded by a strobe effect, and they hit hard. They later became less visually interesting and lost their power. By TNG, they were being fired in salvos that often did little other than reduce the enemy shields by a few percent.

[@toob1979]

The most satisfying torpedo had to be the homing torpedo from _The Undiscovered Country._ _Enterprise_ and _Excelsior_ were completely defensive until Bones yelled, "Lock and load!" Chang knew he was finished when he saw that torpedo curve. The saddest... Well, we all know what that was, and I will hear no arguments about it. 🖖

Ds9 was perhaps the most broad-reaching series from both a storytelling and philosophical perspective and the Andrew Probert refit was a work of art (I have the light up ornament on my desk right now and I have lit the warp nacelles and deflector dish in your honor). It is always good to meet a fellow believer in Jesus Christ AND a fan of insightful sci-fi. Far from closing the mind, I find that the truth of God's Word gives one the moral and logical foundations to accurately examine the full range of human experience; scientific, social, and metaphysical.

@@tifreak8x True, but there should be a hard limit on how low you can dial it. The TNG tech manual goes over it a bit and talks about the efficiency of 'mixing' the matter and antimatter, which does make a certain amount of sense. In space, you can have the antimatter just disperse into space and it'll react gradually with interstellar dust and such. But in atmosphere? Where exactly is the 'unused' antimatter going to go? Even at minimum setting, it should still be going off like a low-yield nuke. Kilotons, instead of megatons.
