This is my idea for a based design to work from
Okay so I have an Idea for a "Phaser Drone" fired from the ships torpedo bay Codenamed the Hellfire torpedo or maybe the hell spawn
The PB-1 Mark-1 Phaser Burst Torpedo, going by the codename "Hellfire", was a purely tactical torpedo designed to compliment A ships Fighters. First issued just as the Dominion War wrapped up, but unable to be deployed in the war itself, it used a variant of the casing of a quantum torpedo to house a sophisticated frequency shifting device capable of setting the torpedos phasers to attune to the exact phase of the target's shields before firing and allow the torpedo to "skip" the shields of the target, impacting directly on the hull of the enemy vessel. It could be recognized by the green glow the torpedo gave off as it travelled, due to its power core and propulsion technology.
Success rate of these torpedoes was mediocre. Shield penetration only occured in 30-55% of test firings, and in field usage, the general ratio of successful shield penetration was limited.
The Mark-1 phaser arc is a Type X phaser arc This couppled with the frequency shifter used all of the Mark 1's power after a 3 , 5 Second bursts or 1, 20 second sustained fire
Power Core
Unlike other torpedo designs, the "Hellfire" had an independent power generator, which allowed the torpedo to be a deep strike weapon. While fired at warp, it could stay at warp speeds for up to a day, and was completely independent of ship's systems after launch - a "fire and forget" weapons system. The power generator was focused around a supply of high-charged warp plasma, taken from the firing ship's warp system before launch.
With the high-energy warp plasma tapped directly from the warp engines, Sometimes this would cause the torpedo to explode; however, with the proximity to target usually being well within the kill range, this point was thought to be moot While The Hellfire is not designed to explode this side effect caused significant damage to the target ship.
The Hellfire is Equipped with a rudimentary targeting system locking it on to a single warp signature till the signature disappears from sensors
