the wepond is a torp that is not reqired to be shot at an enamy to coss damege.
simply click neer the enamy or enamys and win it reeches the pont you choss it blose up with shrapnal damgeing enemys neer it.

this is a bit drifrant from the altilary ships:

this is faster
less damege
it has shrapnal that can cose adishal damege
it will also push enany taregs a bit.
its is not long rage it is medam rage wepin.

I dont know, somewhere I heard that torpedo's auto destruct when they dont hit anything to prevent them from becoming a mine or hitting a starbase a couple of months after it's fired, so i do think torps should auto destruct but dont think it is possible

Well, it could be something like an artillery weapon, only with lower range and damage radius, but moving pretty fast. I don't see that much use for that kind of weapon right now, except for efficiently taking down cloaked ships (if you have a rough idea of where they are).

Don't think sharpnel can damage a ship, shield and hull would stop it. A standard torpedo uses the blast to do its damage.

i think for phasers there is a certain reach to them. the energy that is used to fire is guided by a magnetic particals to fire at a straigh line, but i guess that has a certain reach of maintaining a beam. when a phaser mis fires, i guess it dissapates in ions or other form of energy as it is a vacuum of space.

but back to the point, shrapnel fire doesn't even damages the structural fiel on a ship. i think it was in a TNG episode that 2 clans where in a fight and they shot at the enterprise. Riker said then that lazers could't even damage their shields

true, but a piece of the wing of a warbird in nemesis did some serious damage to the enterprise, kinda the same as shrapnel

true but that is theorisided that there was a hole in the shielding., see the same effect when the enterprise crashed into the scemitar

Shrapnel is little pieces of fast moving metal, a wing from a Norexan class warbird is a wing from a Norexan class warbird, see the differance? The metal from a 'flak torpedo' wouldn't be large enough to really hurt anything but something the size of that blown off wing piece traveling as fast as it was could do some damage.

In short, you can't make a torpedo give off shrapnel large enough to cause any real damage.

i dont wont the wepin to be the most paerfull wepin in the game just a usefull one for herting motabul ships at one time with one shot.

Well flak can't do anything to a space ship...so it wouldn't be a powerful weapon at all.
