[@stormthrush37]

I always just assumed they figured out a way to manufacture them along the way somehow. Just like the endless shuttlecraft.

[@Cyke101]

But they outright said they had no way to manufacture more. Now, if they did find a way, they would have to outright say it. An equal reaction. The former is confirmed, the latter is conjecture. And conjecture isn't canon unless it's confirmed.

[@stormthrush37]

@@Cyke101 Yes, they said that at the _beginning_ of the show. And I hoped they would have at least had one line where they said they figured it out or something. But they didn't. Like the endless shuttlecraft, it's a plot hole. So we can either just assume they figured it out...or not. Either way, that they've still got us thinking and talking about a show over two decades later...I think they did all right.

[@Cyke101]

The thing is, since it's a plot hole, the burden of proof is on the show, and not the viewer, to create the explanation of making the show. We could all assume or hypothesize how they replaced their torpedoes all the live long day, but if they don't actually explain it, then they violate one of the basic rules they set up for themselves -- a constant state of scarcity. I realize that framing the torpedo supply like that seems overblown, but every TV show has a set of rules that they adhere to, spoken or not. Some rules are explicit in the show bible. Others are implied but are part of the premise (i.e. Full House cannot violate an explicit rule of having a sparsely-occupied house, nor can it violate an implied rule of, like, magical time travel. It's just not that kind of show). But by violating the rules it sets upon itself, it then means that its own cohesion and tightness can give way, when a TV show really requires a strict focus in its premise (or else the premise is pointless). For example, Voyager's premise was that it would take them 70 years to get home. Obviously it took far less time than that, but that distance had to be acknowledged -- every time they took a shortcut, they would outright state that it cut the journey by years or even decades. That's an acknowledgement of the premise. The torpedoes didn't get that acknowledgement. Them shaving off 63 years off the journey doesn't feel like a cheat or plot hole because its central premise was kept in mind. The viewer didn't need to explain or rationalize any of those jumps. The viewer's labor wasn't needed there. Their needing double the torpedoes *is* a cheat because they never touched upon that scarcity again.

[@1pcfred]

@@Cyke101 we have no way to manufacture photon torpedoes now either. But that does not change the fact that we may someday develop the method.

[@stormthrush37]

​@@Cyke101 I agree with you that it's a plot hole. I agree with you that the show didn't explain this point as it should have. What do you want me to do about it? We're talking about a TV show that hasn't been on the air for going on two decades.

That bit about having 30-something torpedoes and no way to replace them had always stuck with me. It made me self-conscious each time they used them, and wondering how many they had left. They sold it with that single exchange of dialogue, and if they wanted to drop the limit and opt for "torpedoes go brrr", they could've done so just as easily. Personally, it would've been really satisfying if they said that a room was repurposed for torpedo production. 😌 Perhaps early Season 4, when they upped the budget and frequency of space battles, and it could've been a 7 of 9 thing like the new atrometrics lab.

[@Palmerrip]

Well I'm sure there are security measures in place to keep people from replicating a matter/antimatter warhead that is the torpedo. The other parts may be replicated for like caskets, probes, etc. But, I'm sure the anti-matter had to me siphoned from voyager's own reserve. So, Janeway may have jumped the gun when she said there was no way to replace them when expending the munitions.

The crew is quite resourceful. I'm sure they manufactured the means to make more torpedoes. The ship was upgraded several times and the crew were constantly figuring out work arounds.

[@obiitom]

I always just imagined Tuvok and Torres put their heads together to make some type of antimatter warheads. Janeway wouldn't have known the complete skill sets of her new Maquis crew, and Torres was an engineer genius who had past experience with warheads. The casing and drive sections would have probably been easily replicated from files in the computer for when they do the Starfleet burial at sea ceremonies.

[@sobgray]

I'm so glad the "fire everything" line is iconic for you too

[@LackeysLack]

I cracked up at 'Fire everything!'. This was still better than Generations. "Prepare to fire a full spread of photon torpedoes when their shields drop. And by full spread, I mean ONE torpedo.'

[@PatriciaCross]

At the start of the series they were in an area of space where tech was limited compared to Starfleet. It was realistic to say that in the foreseeable future they would have no way of replacing their torpedoes. Resources really were limited and they were relying heavily on trade. If they can eventually get to the point where they can build the Delta Flyer then it is a reasonable assumption that they had also been able to manufacture torpedoes. The resources required to keep an adequate supply constantly regularly may be sparse, but they could gradually replenish them. But it does point out one of the real flaws of Voyager. The series started out acknowledging their lack of resources but rarely referenced it again and mostly discarded it. Voyager would have been a better series as a whole if they focussed more on that as an ongoing plot point. The fact we can make a video about this issue with torpedoes illustrates this wonderfully because we were never shown how they solved this problem.

Haha, great video :D and there is even 1 scene missing. Voyager follows the "U.S.S. Dauntless" in the slipstream and fires 4 torpedos on the ship, "full spread" of course :D lol

[@boooster101]

*hits bong* What does full spread even mean?

[@AndersonNeo12]

the fire sequence "full spread" is like if you change the setting of a machine gun from single bullet, to automatic. You don`t fire one torpedo (bullet) you fire full spread or full volley 3:39 4:01 4:52 5:31 5:50

[@90lancaster]

If I recall Correctly a Full Spread for the Enterprise D would be 5 shot from a single tube (though I don't recall if they can shoot 5 out of the back launcher as well that might have a lower rate of fire). So think of a Revolver you can "fan it" and fire all 6 chambers in under 2 seconds or fire sequentially - the same here they can fire 3 Torpedo in quick succession from a chamber loaded with 3 Torpedoes on each side. It seems Voyager has a number of temporary staging points where a single or small number of torpedos can be released from too. these include one in the dorsal one next to the tractor beam emitter and a small cluster of them on the side. those areas don't seem suited for rapid fire and may not even be a full staging area and are little more than a weapon release airlock. They might even be the place the umbilicals attach to when docking the ship. The main Torpedo Bay (3 of them) are adjacent to the storage areas and so can fire and reload more quickly - I don't know the facts but judging by the footage it seems they can stage 3 and fire them almost simultaneously from each main launcher. (so 6 forwards and 3 rear wards) but they usually stagger them a bit no only to target them independently but also for safety reasons. Where are the Enterprise D fired all 5 at once they then separate from the cluster (kinda dangerous). The main launcher can also fire Probes too. If a larger probe was needed it would likely have to be specially constructed and either beamed into space or released from the shuttle bay. Curiously like the NX-01 Voyager has a lot of auxiliary hatches and ports that were never given a specific function - for example near the rear torpedo launcher there are two hatches - which I think are wear work bees are stored.

[@boooster101]

90 Lancaster when we start about functional design....what the hell is that borg-ish part at the front of the Intrepid saucer? NO other federation ship has it

[@90lancaster]

In one of the specialist sensor Pallets that Science Vessels have - there is also a secondary Deflector on the Primary hull underneath that part. If you compare Rhode Island to The normal Nova Class Equinox you can see Equinox has them too Rhode Island doesn't. It's quite common on 24th Century ships (Look at Norway Class, Prometheus class and so on) - on other ships the sensors are contained in domes or parts stuck on the hull (like the Centaur Class or the Constellation class) where as the additional sensors on other ships can also be place in a out-board pod as on some variations of Nova Class. If I had to guess i'd say some of the sensors are mapping sensors and general science tools for doing stuff science ship do more easily. and some of the sensors are more tactical and rely on tracking ships, looking for cloaked vessels and acting a battlefield management tools. (I think that distinction is the most obvious in the Nova Class variants). I'm kinda curious what the thick armour plates on the side of the Prometheus are for though myself.

[@ryanleaf288]

I feel like Enterprise cleared part of this up when they installed new weapons because they left space dock early. They can do all this stuff, it is just easier to do it at Jupiter Station. Also. I always assumed they traded for torpedoes. Starfleet is strict on the transfer of weapons to someone else, but not so strict when buying weapons.

I don't care what the canon says - it doesn't make sense to assume Voyager couldn't replenish their supply of torpedoes through SOME means. The idea of having a limited inventory made sense in the pilot and most of season 1, but c'mon. even if they had to build a special replicator or something, they would have needed to improvise. Maybe the later torpedoes were improvised explosives and not true photon torpedoes. In the end though, firing torpedoes was done to make scripts more exciting and really for no other reason. Trek has far bigger continuity errors than this kind of thing.
