It's not a warship. It is a high speed scout ship.

Thats wrong. The voyager didn't have QTorps at launch. They came around
the next season of DS9.

If I remember right, on the first episode they used quatum torpedoes
to distroy the caretaker's ship. from the Kzan.
I have to find that tape to check it.

*Wrong again.* I understand that the Intrepid class is an exploration
ship much like the orginal Enterprise (Consitution class). Just happens
that Starfleet gave Janeway a mission that *suppose* to last just three
weeks - to capture the Maquis -, and they end up in the DQ 70 years from
home. An exploration ship will last *longer* than any type of ship in
the fleet, so Voyager have a *good* chance to make it make to Fed space.

Also, if memory serves me, they fired one quantum torpedo at a Vidiian
ship at the end of *Resolutions*. (Along with the exterior
holographic displays of the talaxian fighter craft, the last part of
this episode I found more enjoyable than the first).

Who said Voyager was a warship? Last I heard it was a science vessal
similar to the Grissom. (With a better captain, thank God.)

You *may* be right. In "Caretaker", the series premiere, the Voyager did
fire a torpedo, that was white, at the array. I know that quantum torps
are white in color. (the Enter-E, in First Contact, use quantum torps,
which were white in color) Photon torpedoes are red in color, which they
use later on.
My opinion is that perhaps the Voyager have *very few* of the quantum
torpedoes and more of the photon torpedoes. The quantum torps are more
powerful than the photon, so Janeway will *not* use them unless it is
*really* necessary. This may be one possible explanation as to why we
see Voyager fire photon torps instead of the quantum torps.

Those were Tri Cobalt devices, not quantum torpedoes

Nope. They use tricobalt devices.

It doesn't have any.

compared to the kazons bucuse the Kazons SUCK a nebula class ship would
kill voyager!

Voyager is ONLY a scout. SHe is NOT heavily armed. SPEED is her
ONLY real weapon. Sure, she can protect herself if she wants, but not as
well as Nebula, Ambassador, Sovereign, Defiant.
One thing to note though, is that *IF* Dreadnaught were not
destroyed, Voyager would in fact have quantum torpedoes.

One *more* time....Voyager is *not* a *scout ship*! It is an Intrepid
class *exploration* ship! Think, man, think!
One: Janeway is a scientist who loves to explore. Would she accept being
captain of a scout ship? Noooooooooo!
Two: A scout ship would have a crew *less* than 100. Voyager have a crew
of 150! Duh!
Three: A scout ship was designed *only* for *short-term* time in space.
Power would go mostly to warp engines and weapons, thus giving it the
ability to maintain higher warp speeds for longer time. Voyager *can
not* maintain higher warp speed for a long time, because as an
exploration ship, power is use evenly throught out the ship.
Four: Scout ships do *not* have labs! Voyager does!
Five, and final one: A scout ship was *not* designed to be in space for
a long period of time! A scout ship will not last a year on its own in
the Delta Quad. An exploration ship *was* designed to be in space for a
long time, therefore will have the ability to last the period of time
Voyager had been, so far, in the DQ.
Steve, you better back up your words.
