	The standard ranges for most torpedoes are 15 / 300,000 / 1,000,000 / 3,500,000. However, recent advances by Star Fleet (and perhaps other powers) have increased the fuel tank size of the individual torpedo, extending the range of the missile to 15 / 350,000 / 1,500,000 / 4,050,000. (See individual ship descriptions for which type of torpedo is carried; switching from one to the other, or from one type of torpedo to another, does not change the SU cost of torpedoes or launchers). For every 1,000 kilometers beyond Long range, increase the Difficulty to hit the target by +10%.		The standard ranges for most torpedoes are 15 / 300,000 / 1,000,000 / 3,500,000.

For every 1,000 kilometers beyond Long range, increase the Difficulty to hit the target by +10%.

	To determine the Accuracy of a torpedo launcher, buy a Torpedo Targeting System (see table). This is the same as an Auto-Phaser Interlock or Disruptor Targeting System (depending upon what type of beam weapons the ship uses) in terms of SU cost and effect, and applies to a single torpedo launcher. Torpedo launchers must also buy a 541+ degree firing arc (5 SUs), to reflect the self-guided nature of torpedoes.

	In addition to beam weapons, most ships carry at least one missile weapon—the torpedo launcher. Though many different types of torpedoes, such as photon, plasma, quantum, and gravimetric, are used, the launchers themselves are basically the same from one ship or species to another. They typically consist of tubes about 30 meters long made of tritanium, sarium farnide, and similar materials. Sequential field induction coils and launch assist gas generators provide the power to fire the torpedo.

	Ships have to carry a sufficient load of torpedo casings and parts so that they have enough “ammunition” to meet any challenge they might face. Every 5 torpedoes occupy 0.5 SU of storage space. Probes, which are also launched from torpedo launchers, are usually stored with torpedoes; any one probe is equivalent to any one torpedo in terms of the SUs required to store it (thus, a batch of 15 torpedoes and five different probes takes 2 SU of storage space). While mass for SUs do vary from class to class, the difference is assumed to be in the makeup of the storage spaces (machinery, shelves, maintenance areas, etc.). Note: chemical and nuclear missiles are stored with differently sized spaces.

	During the early [[22nd century]], a new missile weapon is developed. Smaller in size and several magnitudes safer to deploy than nuclear missiles, the spatial torpedo is also capable of being fired at warp speeds. Miniature warp sustainers allow the torpedo to continue to cruise towards its intended target. The weapon system uses a new plastic explosive compound (antimatter in [[2148]], thereafter referred to as "photonic torpedoes") that has the same equivalent explosive capability of nuclear missiles with none of the messy radiation after-effects.
