[Baron Munchausen]

Yes, the Crystalline Torpedo has a very low damage potential. It was originally set that low to compensate (over-compensate, I think) for the ability to ignore armor. The simplest thing to do is to increase the damage it does. HOWEVER... this simply makes it another Seeking Parasite. In order to encourage variety in this game I suggest a different approach to the problem. Yes, increase the damage a bit, but increase the seekers DAMAGE RESISTANCE dramatically. This thing goes with the racial trait that gives crystalline armor, remember. So rather than forcing it to be just like the other seekers in the game make it different. With a damage resistance of 90 or so these cannot be destroyed by a single PDC hit. This completely changes the effect they have in combat, so I recommend that you do not increase the damage they do TOO much! I've set them this way in my games and a Crystal tech ship filled with these can be a real hairy opponent if you're not outfitted with very large numbers of PDCs. It makes yet another DIFFERENT hazard to be coped with in the game. Good stuff!
