Torpedo revamp

[Biggbudd]

Torpedo's should be expensive, very expensive, and devastating to anything smaller than a Python.
They should be slow and be easily avoided, but relentless.
They should have an cockpit alarm to say you have been targeted, and used as a threat by pirates.

Would make a fantastic addition in gameplay, as for now they are useless.

they are useless.

My Python, Thunder Force III, had a run in with a hailstorm of torpedoes once.

I'm on Thunder Force IV now.

If torpedoes were to be made in to super weapons, they'd also need a minimum arming distance, to prevent dive bombing, which is unavoidable. Because then they'd be massively overpowered.

Then, combined with slow speed, slow tracking, they'd actually be useless.
