Only if I saw the movie backwards.

The small ones and the reddish ones are the ones the Enterprise fires right after that "phaser scan sequence". The bigger orange one is about to hit the scimitar.

The Scimitar fires silvery plasma bolts, not red-orange torpedoes.
Those are Federation photon torpedoes as seen in Star Trek: Nemesis.

ah, ok, i was irritated by the one which looks like it's flying by

I think they look cool, if we are going to have a game set after the Dominion war better get the torpedos right

I don't think the Scimitar fired any Photons but if they did they must have been silvery-green-yellow like the Disruptors.

Would love some burst fire tubes Optec, keep it in mind.

the akira class is a federation torpedo platform. it has 15 photon/quantum/tricobalt
torpedo tubes. with each one able to fire 10 at once. thats 150 torpedos at one time firing!!!!!!

its actually 18 (I believe) burst tubes for only Photons. Quantums? lol There isn't even really a Tri-cobalt torpedo.

There is.
The Voyager used a Tricobalt Torpedo to destroy the Caretakers starbase in the first episode

The Akira has 15 Pulse-Fire Photon Torpedo launchers spread out along the hull... Seven of these are mounted in the large roll bar pod, all facing forwards, three face aft; the remaining five are located in the saucer section, two of which face directly out to port and starboard - an unusual feature in a Starfleet vessel.

The loading and pre-fire stages can hold up to four photons simultaneously, but the launch tube itself is only of sufficient size to fire one weapon at a time. The pulse fire tube therefore fires four rounds in one second, then pauses for three seconds to reload with the next four photons. Overall rate of fire is therefore one torpedo per second.

As for Tri-Cobalt torpedos...they aren't torpedos exactly...Captain Janeway called them Tri-Cobalt devices..and Voyager only fired two as two was all that was needed to completely obliterate the Caretaker's Array.
