Some Questions to Spur Discussion

[Nate the Great]

I'm for the "Janeway left Dodge in a hurry, the Aeroshuttle wasn't quite finished, she stripped it for parts a long time ago" theory.

Okay, replicating shuttles and replicating torpedoes are not equivalent. I imagine that the computer is a LOT simpler on a torpedo, plus it's easier to make a warp sustainer engine than a full warp core.

Tuvok: Kal-toh is to chess as chess is to tic-tac-toe.

Of course people counted. Janeway said that there were X torpedos and that they can't get any more. She was figuratively screaming at the viewer to Do The Math. There are entire websites devoted to keeping track of crewman, Maquis, shuttlecraft, lightyears travelled, etc. That's the funny part, they should've jumped into Beta Quadrant at about mid-season six.
