PPB = Phased Polaron Beam. Widely known for being one of the two Ultimate weapons in SE4 Classic (APB is the other).

The torpedo should be something roughly similar to the SE4 classic torpedo, bullet shaped, with some way of indicating a polaron warhead. Maybe a window (like the plasma missile has), which allows emits a wierd glow.
Rather than Trek, think WW2

I'm not sure whether the polaron glow should be purple, like the beam seen in combat, or yellow, like the PPB component image... I'm leaning towards purple.

PPB - I've been doing so much B5 lately I could only think along the lines of PPG! Temporary mind slip...

I'll try the new torp in a bit.

By 3x3 armor, you mean the like the organic, yes?

Correct.
"the Classic OA 3x3 shape" where OA = Organic Armor.

- I like Torp3, but it needs some more ambient light near the front. I'd leave the wings off of the tail, since the torpedo is almost a dumbfire weapon.
- For the Missile/Seeker, try using the wavy colored polaron core from the torpedo, with more of a blue tint to the core.
- The Psy crystal looks great. The mini should turn out very nice, since the design is quite simple.

You should ask Andrés to do the computer components, I liked the one he did earlier for the SW mod.

That torp tweak was totally unexpected, but I like it Can you do something like that shroud to the polaron missile.

As for the armor, could you smooth it out (too mechanically blocky). And maybe get them to overlap each other like shingles?
I want the shape (not the color) to be close to the original Organic armor.
I wonder if it would look good with shards of the original SE4 crystalline material sticking through the surface in random places
