Re: Plasma Torps
The "real-world" explanation for why plasma torps lose energy during transit, and missiles don't, is probably that MM was following the precedent set by Star Fleet Battles.
The only reason I've ever used plasma torps is the extra speed. If you do it right, the enemy has fewer chances to fire Point-Defense at the plasma torp than they would a missile.
Another way to improve Plasma Torps would be giving them better damage resistance, so that PDC have less effect. Or give them a defensive bonus, so PDC don't always hit...
