Many (semi) newbie questions...advice requested.

Back to the torpedoes vs. missiles question: are we talking about the anti-matter/quantum torpedoes, or the Plasma Torps you get at the top of the seeker tech tree (after missiles)? I agree about the AM/Q Torps being completely different from missiles. However, the plasma torps are fairly similar to missiles (seeking weapon, long range); the major differences are that Plasma Torps have better speed, better damage resistance, and better damage at short ranges. The damage drops below missile damage at mid- to long-range, but I think the Plasma Torps also have better range than missiles (or at least the higher-level Plasma Torps have better range than missiles).
