> This is true, but you have to remember exactly how massive the Death Star
is compared to Enterprise. Sure, photon torpedoes kick major ass, and they
could punch through that many-meters-thick armor after only a few shots,
but in order to destroy the whole station, you'd need a LOT of photon
torpedoes. That is, unless you happen to punch through in a place where
you could destroy it with but a single shot. But it would be much easier
to just program a photon torpedo to go through those tunnels straigt to
the main generator and smack it.
