[edit] Photon torpedoes

Greetings!

Startrek.com's article claims this ships is armed with "at least photon torpedoes", however, here it inlcudes only beam weapons in the ships arsenal. I can clearly recall the ship firing beam weapons, but I can never recall it firing torpedoes. Is Startrek.com simply incorrect, or did the ship in fact fire a torpedo at some time?

A side point might be; Do Cardassian ships even USE photon torpedoes? I can't think of an instance where they have fired anything that can conclusively be referred to as a torpedo. There was the purple weapon in TNG: Ensign Ro, but that look more pulse-like than torpedo-like to me. Rogue Vulcan 18:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Star Trek.com's articles take a few liberties, I think. They have a lot of guesswork and supposition that is not supported by any canon evidence. I also do not recall them ever firing torpedoes.--31dot 18:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

but startrek.com is a permitted resource, so it can be noted in the background. Cardassians have been known to use at least plasma (the orbital weapon platforms) and quantum torpedoes, and matter/antimatter warheads (the dreadnought) that is what a photon torpedo basicly is too (in a smaller scale) so it's not totally unimaginable that some of their ships might have photorp launchers. --Pseudohuman 18:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
