Default Re: Anti-Matter Torpedo

Why, to watch it waste all of that damage potential by not firing its extra weapons on other ships, thereby making it no more effective than ships with APBs guarding that warp point? Large APB ships nearly always destroy their target in one round of fire at close ranges already, so using Graviton Hellbores instead is overkill, and prevents them from firing much in the next two rounds.

Even smaller ships would be effective against such defense. The damage potential would be even more wasted in that first round, because they die in just a few hits. So, those GHB ships do no more than APB armed ships would do.

So, GHBs are at best no better than APBs for this use, and could potentially be weaker.
