I discussed the torps with marc, and does have two failsafes(there is none for taking a hit to the storage area though)

-Lead lined storage area(it would be expensive to put them on the torps, and would hinder overall performance)

-Battery pack for keeping it supplied with power(I suggested plug in power to keep it charged), and are basically replacing the capacitors in this case.

-there really is no way to protect against a hit, mostly due to the warheads in them being sealed. the best way is to have more armor in that area and hope that nothing penetrates it, really.

now in star trek, the photon torps did on occasion do warp speed one(won't be the case in RP, because that's outright OP, and because (i'm quoting marc here, as close as I can) "wtf does it have, a warp core")

marc and me were discussing his phasers, but then I had to go to bed.
