Default Re: Plasma Torps

I can think of some technobabble to explain why plasma missiles do less damage at longer ranges: the missile can't carry enough equipment to keep the plasma at launch temperature. The plasma "warhead" starts cooling as soon as it's launched, and therefore gets weaker the farther it travels before impact.
