Resonance Torps vs. Trilithium device, more sophisticated?

[Grand Admiral Ancaris]

Might I suggest some of the potential reasons for the delay between the Launch of the RT and the resulting supernova compared to the Trilithium device.

The Trilithium devices in every case I remember seeing seemed to be, for lack of a better term, suicide devices. Destruction of the target star happening almost immediately. If you have your own forces in system at the time, in all likelihood they will be destroyed.

The RT have a bit of a delay to them, which would allow one to get their own forces out of the system. Though I'm not saying that's /why/ they have the delay.

Well I've probably done enough pointless rambling for now. =P

It is stated in the novels that the Sun Crusher could have survived inside a star for Kyp to retrieve it.

Just something to add here.

I'm not positive if you're replying to me, but just in case. I know the the Sun Crusher could have survived a supernova, I meant if there were some of your forces in the system other than the Sun Crusher. Say a system is about to be invaded by the Vong and not enough resources are available to defend it. You could fire off a RT into the star, and then get as many of your own forces out as possible. When the Vong fleet arrives, they discover an unpleasant suprise waiting for them.

Because it's KJA's writing, and the Suncrusher is, by his logic, invincible. We can, luckily, derive exact figures for it's armour from this.

Whats wrong with that? It's his writing thats bad, I'm more than happy to keep the concept just as long I don't have to read the story

Pg. 237: "I don't suppose even dropping it into a sun would have made much difference."

Kyp shook his head. "No, I could have recovered it just as easily."

2. The RT's were never said to move at C to my knowledge. Nor did I hear of them having ranges that you described. Kyp didn't get so close to the sun to 'shake off' some Tie Interceptors, a bloody ISD isn't even the slightest threat to him. He went to the star to induce the supernova, not to get rid of the Interceptors. Do you have a source which shows the RT's moving at C? When he was fighting the DS in the Maw, IIRC it has bits where he watches as the torpedoes home in on the DS which he is orbiting closely. If they moved at C, they would move WAY too fast for him to track visualy.

As for Trilithium, That word and others are thrown around and used inconsistently throughout Star Trek so don't assume that they all have similar meanings.

Riiiight. So despite the word being the exact same word, we can't assume it has the same meaning and is the same thing?

Read Star Wars The Essential Guide to weapons and Technology at your local Bookstore. (black cover)
It staes that a RT can move NEAR the speed of light. Based on that you can assume they can fired from anywhere in the system.

If they are moving at those speeds it would take A lot of distance, a lot of friction to stop something with that much momentum.

Plus I'm just so right about Trek, they throw words around all the time. Most recently Transphasic. Oh and speaking of phase, they've been throwing that word around since TNG. (but More so in Voyager)[/quote]

Chris O'Farrell You FUCKIN' Troll!!! I clearly showed that what I stated in my post are true, why no Re: You reek of Troll, get lost, if you are gonna Re: a thread at least be a man and come back and admit that your wrong!!

Damn I was just bored wanted to incite something.
