It's a one shot weapon that costs 15000cr, with an extremely high chance of hitting the target. The one time I used it, it did about 25% hull damage to a federal dropship (fired after I'd taken down it's shields).

Hehe, if my 6th torp has hit and you still have 50% hull... I'm charging the FSD and getting the hell outa there!
I have a Panic macro setup with Voice attackI say 'retreat!' The ship switches off flight assist, diverts power to engines, and boosts every 4 seconds while charging the FSD. Has got me out of scapes in the past!
Oh man I need to look into this voice-attack thing. I would say though, you might not have to worry about the boost button after your flight assist is off. Unless you set it so that your assist pops back on momentarily to correct and pitch/yaw movements and then pops back off to be replaced by another boost.
Crap, I'm offering advice to the enemy again.
Troyan advice.
It's outdated and not valid anymore - now FA off decelerates from boost speed to max normal speed..
So missiles are not good vs hull? isn't that what they're supposed to be used for?
You will need to find the right angle,
so that the torps hit in a 90° angle.
When the 'conda faces you, try to boost below it and thrust downwards,
should fit to hit if your ship is in an 45° angle to the target the projectile will adjust.
Missiles are categorized as explosive weapons, so there is no upgradeable armor against them for starters,
they can damage multiple subsystems with one hit, and deal good damage versus small and fast target's hulls.

missles, especaly dumbfire missles, are great vs hull, but torpedos have very high pen damage and fewer shots, and yet dont have as much total damage as missles do. however they are more for killing subsystems in one to two shots, only large ships right now have subsystems that make them more "killable" and thats what torpedos are used for. at least as far as people can make it out.
Interesting. Use missiles myself but may give Torps a whirl.
Are they susceptable to counter measure? Ie ECM and point defence.

8?
That's 120k of ammunition...
And all of this will be wasted by the push of a single button (closing external hatches/silent running)
I do believe and fully accept that I may be wrong, but was there not a smallish chunk in notes recently that mentioned the removal of using thrusters with fao to attain unintended speeds?
I am quite sure I recall reading that note and going "huh.....never thought of that.....too bad I missed it."
Well, in coordinated groups, it could be a way for fighters to take out big ships. Like a the WWII Japanese Kates.
When you say upgraded, do you mean the class 2 pylon, or a unique launcher? I've only really seen C1 torpedo pylons (1 shot) and C2 pylons (2 shots). They both fired the same heat-seeking torpedos.
Am talking about the C2 Pylons, the ones that cost 7500 per Torp. It could very well be that the Yield is the same.
Cheers
Are you sure those aren't dumbfire torpedoes? I purchased a C2 torpedo pylon at one point, and it used the same 15k cr seeker torpedos as the C1 pylon- just two of them, instead. I'm pretty sure I've seen dumbfire torpedo launchers before, and that would explain the significantly cheaper ammo.
