If you're a Star Trek fan, I have a question for you

On the TV show, Star Trek the next generation, you have the starship Enterprise it's a Galaxy class starship, one of its weapons is a photon torpedo. In the second next generation movie, you have the Enterprise e which is a sovereign class ship, and it has quantum torpedoes.

Would it be possible to completely overhaul the Galaxy classes photon torpedoes and loaded with quantum torpedoes or would it be an impossibility?

This is just for fun. But a question I'm curious about nonetheless.

You mean, load the new weapon in the same tube? Might depend on the load, arm, and launch process too. Could mean a full overhaul, plus that would provide more jobs for people who choose to work in the cashless Star Trek society.

I was thinking more along the lines of, the whole entire torpedo system has to be overhauled to accommodate the quantum torpedoes.

@twiigss pretty much, even if it did use the same 700 mm bore, it's just a whole new animal! 4,000 workers, double shifts, overtime points in the holo-deck...

@GerOttman Now that's a great idea I like it
