I've known about Kitsune's site for a while. I was wondering what you guys think of it.

This might help

Lots of problems here, some just annoying typos, but others are real messed up assumptions, like the Galaxy class having 300 torpedoes total loadout, when canonically we know they have 250.

Wow, Kitsune's site. I haven't been there in a LOOOOOOOONG time. Almost forgot about it.

I thought we are never told what a full load of torpedos was for a Galaxy class?

What other things did you notice?

Don't you remember the Pegasus argument thread between you, WILGA and myself?
I believe it is in "Conundrum" that we have the 250 torpedo loadout for the E-D...

Vaguely, I don't recall it being stated that 250 was the maximum number it could carry, but I'll admit I don't have the quote handy in any form. I thought 250 torpedos was what they had at the time?

The 250 photon torpedo loadout does indeed come from "Conundrum". It is to date the only direct canon statement about how many torpedoes are carried on a GCS.

And backed up by the Technical Manual IIRC...

[Mike DiCenso]

Actually, the TNG TM says there are 275 photon torpedoes. When the Warsies do their Pegasus calcs, they always take that number since it adds another 25 torpedoes, which in turn further reduces the average yield per torpedo.

Another goof-up is the number of phaser strips on the saucer section. Kitsune claims four when any good accounting of the thing shows visually only two big strips (one dorsal, one ventral). When the saucer is docked to the stardrive, there are two small strips on the upper neck of the stardrive hull, which may have caused this person some confusion given the blended shapes. But when seperated, those two little phaser strips go with the stardrive, leaving only the two big ones with the saucer.

As a secondary consequence Kitsune nerfs the stardrive count as well. With nine exposed phaser strips while docked with the saucer, and 10 when the stardrive is conducting independent operations.

Judging from the spelling and grammatical errors, I'd say hazard a guess that english is not Kitsune's native language.
