Default Re: Torpedo question

But do any of you guys actually use torpedoes?

Maerlyn - that's what I've noticed and I've only been playing the game a short time. You invest in an applied science (I forget which) for 50K, them you have to research Torpedo Lv I, for a total cost of 55K. But if you just research Lv II cannons, it costs like 5k and you have a weapon that fires the same range, every turn for nearly the same damage (I believe. Still a novice )Weapon to weapon, tech level equal, I can't seem to find any situation yet where I want or need torepoes over anything else. Kinda depressing really, they seem kinda useless.

Atrocites - I read your example below, but do you ever outfit ships with them?

I've obiviously only been playing this game a short time, and it is by far one of the best TBS games I've played. I've got a lot to learn yet.

Sorry, but what does PPB stand for?
