Description
Engineered torpedoes that disable your FSD in less than 10 seconds after dropping from super cruise are way too powerful. Please, reduce the effects that engineering has on them that basically make them God-like weapons.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Purchase and outfit a Federal Corvette
2. Make sure to fit a class 7 shield generator
3. Engineer the shield generator with added thermal resistance
4. Stack shield boosters in all the utility slots.
5. Engineer half the shield boosters for heavy duty and the other half for resistance augmented
6. Engage in a PvP with an "over-the-board" ship
7. In less than 10 seconds, your FSD will be disabled even if your shields are still close to be 100%

These Grom missiles do act like dumb-fires, too, so they can be avoided when running - the trick is, as you're boosting away, is to do so with Flight Assist off and, as you continue to boost, thrust up, down, left, right (including diagonally, such down+left etc.) in completely random thrust directions - this will make aiming for you incredibly random and incredibly difficult - I have avoided trolling SDC gank ships using this method.
 
Unless the ship firing the missiles can also destroy your ship in <1 minute, then they don't do that much. They have a cooldown which is long enough to reboot the drive and high-wake before you can be affected again ... or in a Corvette versus almost anything else, low-wake even quicker.
