    Thats a really good shot of the captain’s yatch actually.

    I dont remember if its actually called that, but that ship-shaped outline? Yeah thats a small ship.

    The delta flyer took its place on the show but its still in the plans.

    Much like the intrepid’s second warp core it was ultimately forgotten.

    Voyager is neat.

      Amusingly, over the course of the series the ship would go on to fire something like 120 torpedoes from their irreplaceable stock of 38.

        The original statement as to not being able to replace them was silly, given federation tech. Really they should have at some point just had some throwaway line about having converted some facility to photorp production.

          Even if certain components couldn’t be replicated, they’d likely be able to mine/trade for them along the way. Simple as. Wrote themselves into a needless corner.

        This argument always annoys me.

        Of course they couldn’t replace them IN THAT MOMENT, but they clearly made upgrades and changes to the ship as they traveled.

        If they built an astormetrics lab, hydroponics bay, and a borg-enhanced runabout, then they could figure out how to build torpedoes.

        We also see them at least once bartering for weapons and experimenting with new forms of warp travel and energy collection.

        I’m sick of the torpedoes thing. We’re grown-ups. We dont need a throw away line for every little thing that changes between day 1 and day 2k+

          Semantics are the driving force for much of this community. It can be grating and I’m certainly not immune to it.

          Big agree. After season 4 they get access to all sorts of Borg ingenuity. There may but have been a line about Seven unlocking more torpedoes but they had lines about making literally everything else lol

          I don’t really care, but a few lines or episode about setting up manufacturing for proton torpedoes would have fixed that.

      The Janeway portrayed in “Living Witness” isn’t as far off from the truth, it seems.
