This deployable device (consumable item) it is flagged as Borg and has a Frigate rank of a Borg ship.It is equiped with a Transphasic Torpedo launcher and will make Kinetic Damage to the selected target on impact.The color of launched device (projectile) is yellow.The damage , like any other torpedoes (kinetic damage) can be improved with
[Console - Tactical - Warhead Yield Chamber].
- For a level 51 Torpedo platform compared with an enemy ship same rank or same turret, the damage is fair enough ( each hit on target will deal 1000-1200 HP damage with a critical chance for 2200 HP) to do a good damage despite to the slower fire rate, but can be a good help when you need to destroy a strong ship (for example a Borg Cube or a Cardassian battleship), even in Elite Mode gameplay.
- The fire rate is related to the distance until the target. The pause listed on the table bellow is since the torpedo had impact until a new launch from platform .

- The Device Transpasic Torpedo Platform shares same cooldown with any other Satellite Turrets or Torpedo Platforms .
If you have more than 1 Deployable Devices types (satellites or platforms) or items in a stack , note that you can launch only 1.So you can't use a phaser satellite with an additional plasma or tetryon satellite or with a Photon Torpedo Platform.
Does not share same cooldown with Ability: Fleet Support and both can be used in combination.

Even if the platform was destroyed in the first seconds, the timer will keep counting down until 0.If the device was not destroyed ,after 5 minutes it will vanish.When the cooldown is over then you can launch a new device.
