Default Re: Weapons, engines and mods, Oh my!

Torps actually do have some uses, along with the WMG.

1. They may have a lower per-kiloton per-turn damage value, but that doesn't matter if your target is killed by the first salvo. The torps aren't so good at this part, since three APBs = two torps in space, but only 5 less damage.

2. Against Emissive Armor and Crystalline armor, a weapon that does higher damage per shot does better. Ex: your opponent has 5 CA IIIs, so he gets 25 (?) shield points every time you do 25 points of damage or more.

Two torps fire. 200 points of damage, 50 shield regeneration.

Three APBs fire. 195 points of damage, 75 shield regeneration.
