Its fairly easy- and probably a good idea- to increase the torp speeds. Just don't crank it TOO high. I set it to 200 (default, as said, is .8) and the things were blowing right past the launcher..no effect on either end. Ooops.

EDIT: also keep in mind that more speed = less time to impact = less effective point defense
Since fighters have a speed of 1.5 it does seem logical to speed up missiles and torps. But 200??? Yikes! How about 2.0 for torps and 1.2 to 1.5 for missiles. Beams ought to be really, really fast but even for those I doubt that more than 5.0 or so is necessary.
I was doing a test. My usual procedure is to crank the value to something absolutely ridiclous, in order to make it EXTREMELY obvious what that particular function does. At the time I wasn't sure if that line controled projectile speed or animation speed.
