Re: Torpedo question
Nope. I had (made myself take) a bit of time and energy, but was more inclined to do other things, such as try to fiddle with improvements to Proportions mod (didn't get very far, unfortunately), playtesting the next SE4 patch beta, running my CMBB campaign, and playing Dominions II.
I will mention an interesting technique I've tried with some success, though. Fleets with just a few ships in them (i.e. 2-5 ships per fleet), in a formation designed to have them operate as an actual team. This allows you to design the ships as a small complementary squadron. For example, you can have an anti-ship ship concentrate on firepower, and then give it 1-4 escorts that will deploy immediately around it and provide support such as PD, or shield buffers or vice versa - if your opponent tends to target largest or most powerful, you can put a large ship that can take a lot of damage (lots of shields, before enemy has shield depleters), with one or more other ships that have all the firepower but won't be targeted because the enemy will favor the "damage soaker". Or other ideas - depends on the enemy. Anyway, I've had some good success with this sort of thing in some situations, particularly in some competetive games where I needed to do something fancy to try to get an advantage. Definitely a micro-management exercise, however.
