 Of cousr the TMs are wrong the dis agree with you. About the [VGR] "Flashback" episode. What makes you think you would be able to see 300 meter ships firing from 3 million km in the first place. the fact that you don't see the ships actully makes sense. All the ships in that example were at warp and could have been within weapons range and have been in visual range of each other.

Strike one!!!
Luckily all the examples you have shown were at warp speeds and consider that if they were at the same warp speeds and got within range of the other ships then they could fire their torpedoes and of course they would be going faster than both the firing ship and the targeted ship this would increase the overall speed of the torpedo. The [VGR] "Dreadnought" example also doesn't show "warp strafing".


Your examples confirm nothing about range or warp strafing but I comend your efforts.

There is NO END OF STORY either just because you say so, besides I didn't say that it didn't happen I said it was a mistake on the part of the writers, a mistake they later realized, and one you have yet to realize it seems.THE ONLY FACT is warp strafing while may exsist in TOS is implausable.

It maybe apples and oranges but they were still changes made. If they can change one thing then thay could change others.

It maybe seem easy to deflect the arguements away by saying they are flawed, but based on the examples you gave and the ranges that are given unless you ignore that. Which you have aparently chosen to do. It is not possible to target weapons that quickly. There is a difference in targeting scanners and sensors. Yes its possible to detect and even track ships with sensors, but that doesn't mean they can terget them with those sensors, only detect them. Otherwise why would they have targeting sensors in the first place. Why would they state weapons ranges in the first place. What would be the point if they are so easily ignored. I only disagree with mistakes not ignore them or say that they DIDN'T HAPPEN! baesides in another post I tried to give a plausable explanation to TOS examples of warp strafing that made sense.
