No point in using torpedoes with fighters now, except if it's pulse torpedo, like Mini Incapacitator Torpedo. Should be easy to hit a cruiser with it, but not that easy to hit a gunboat. I was always unhappy to see my screamers floating stupidly after all those cruisers.
Must-have for pirate VHF teams. Should be very nice against battle transports, as poor ships have no CMs. I guess Mini Incapacitator Torpedo should have pretty high energy demands, to give traders some chance.
