What's is the point of certain weapons in SE:IV?

I think the problem is in the idea that there is a "Standard Game".
Hopefully this will be corrected in SE5.

There is pretty much no chance that Aaron will be making balance changes to stock. It has been this way for half a decade.

on that note, what are some of the measures people have done to improve things like torpedos. I use to use them almost exclusively in SEIII, and I wouldn't mind making some improvements to weapon balance in DN4.
