- * * * * * * * * PHOTON TORPEDOES (COMMAND 5) * * * * * * * * *
-
- Photon torpedoes will destroy whatever they hit execpt starbases,
- shuttlecraft, black holes, nucleonic storms, and the ENTERPRISE.
- Your torps are fired with a velocity of .4 P/SM in the direction
- you give if the ship is not moving, but if it is moving, their
- velocity will be the vector sum of your velocity and the velocity
- they would have if your were not moving. Torps levaing the
- quadrant are destroyed.
- If you are hit by a photon torpedo, the strength of the hit will
- depend on how close the torp was when it detonated (this can
- range from 75 to 175). Torpedos cannot be accidentally detonated
- by the vessel which fired them, so you don't have to worry about
- running into your own torpedos. Shuttlecraft and starbases
- are unaffected by torpedos (a torp can be fired right through the
- position a shuttlecraft occupies, but will explode harmlessly
- when striking a starbase).
