=== Torpedoes === | === Torpedoes === | ||
Torpedos are slow flying, hard-hitting, long-range missiles that are launched by torpedo launchers. Launchers are massive compared to typical frigate-sized weapon systems and are designed for extended bombardments of hard targets like battleships and stations. Torpedo launcher magazines have a large capacity, which is offset by their slow firing rate, long flight times, and their trouble targeting and applying damage to small, fast ships. To prevent the obvious exploit of launching missiles and then warping out before the missiles connect, if a ship enters warp, all of the missiles it has in-flight vanish immediately. This means that, especially at long range, bombers on a torpedo run must stay on grid until all of their fired missiles have landed, to avoid losing damage. The balance between the stealth bomber's fragility and need to stay on grid is part of the inherent challenge of flying these hulls. | |||
