I don't get it. Could you explain this a little bit more precisely?

The only thing I see in the picture are torpedoes that look
like the ones from the Kirk-era movies and the first seasons of TNG.

And what are those red stripes? TWOK style phasers?

I always wanted ships to fire more then one torpedo or Phaser when in an engagment. If thats what your asking then I support it.

P.S. TMP Phasers kick ass.

Nemesis torpedoes are really bad. They almost look like rockets, having that strange trail they never had before.

And why did they change color within a few years? In FC, DS9 and VOY they are orange, in Nemesis they are red again?

Those Nemesis changes don't make any sense. I was extremely irritated when I saw the Enterprise-E spitting those strange objects instead of the common photon torpedoes...

the current flops version is based on the photons from first contact yep, a pic from the nemesis torpedos would be useful cause i don't remember the difference

Here's a combination of some quick DVD screencaps I just took.

You hardly notice any pulsating when seeing them in motion.
It's far from the style we know.

PS: They seem to change color... And most of the time they are only small dots because of the perspective of the scenes.
