SirNirtram: Because it doesnt work as a weapon, you completely ignore that part of my post?

anarchistbunny: Use but that doesnt mean its a crazy frequency changing torp - it may be a shields skipper like some believe.

I didn't say it didn't change frequencies fast. Maybe it doesn't have one to adapt to.

Very well. The burden of proof lies upon you to prove that the Federation has opted for shield-ignoring technology (never seen before) instead of frequency-specific weaponry (all Federation weaponry ever seen).
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.

I have also pointed out some theories on the shield skipping on the thread about endgame weapons however until I see the episode again (in a couple of days) I wont be able too give good answers.

The super freq changing torp would have to have some amazing tech better than the entire E-D (hmm) but I also pointed out my problems with that theory on the other thread.

Wasn't there also something about the Borg Queen stated about how they will adapt to them(showing they were having trouble doing so), or was that the virus

The torps just caused enough damage for borg cube systems to go critical and for the cube to be destroyed. And the other was just think armor plating. Hmmmmm, something Star Wars have never seen before.
What is your evidence? TTorps do seem to be more powerful than QTorps.....simply because one QTorp has never destroyed a borg cube but a TTorp has.

Thats just a guess. Remember what phasers did to the first encountered cube? The TP Torps wasn't much more powerful.

Maybe you should watch TNG "Q Who" and VGR "Endgame" again. Because the differences are very noticable.

One TTorp was enough to cause a cube to explode violently.
