>The 'offical' range of a photon torpedo in Star Trek is up to

But then, my favorite Star Trek space battle is still Khan's ambush of the Enterprise in Star Trek II, and that was fought at a range of about eight feet. So I'm certainly not complaining.
I try not to get too hung up on the numbers in UF. It's not meant to be anything like hard SF, after all.
