Why are certain weapons good and others totally useless? My problem is with weapons like torpedos. I don't see any benefit to ever researching them. Anyone have any good ideas on how to use some of these useless weapons?

1) roleplay
2) element of suprise
3) something for ruins to give you that you wouldn't already heave
4) an example for you to mod
5) something which becomes usefull when something else is modded out
6) something beneficial at higher tech levels
7) some tactic you haven't discovered yet

For torpedos, they are the direct fire weapon that you get from the Military Science theorectical tech. Maybe someone doesn't want to go straight for physics I
