Well if we are going to get picky what about that episode where Kirk drank
the local water and was speeded up (thus meeting the people who were
taking over his ship).  When Kirk fired his Phaser at the woman it traveled
no where near the speed of light.

And about the photons, if they traveled at the speed of light most of
the other ships would be able to avoid them since these ships travel
faster than light.
