I remember seeing three photon torpedoes fired in succession in one of
the
movies.... but it seems to me that it was in First Contact (not an
original
series....). I am disappointed with using disruptors as merely "beams".
They should be more powerful. I, for one, have the opinion that FT
would
benefit from some of the SFB stuff. I like SFB, my two biggest
complaints
are the layout of the rules (they are SCARY, I have a massive notebook
of
them) and that freaking damage allocation chart! It takes to frickin
long
to roll all of the damage. Otherwise, I much enjoy SFB. I think that
it is
fun to allocate energy.
