Is "BattleCruiser" a relative size? -- discussion

Chef Engineer Erax: If PDGs were kept as they are in unmodded SE IV, how strong would this Torpedo have to be to make a difference?

It's hard to say. Damage is just one variable, there's also range, seeker speed, rate of fire and the size of the launcher component (which determines how many of them you can load onto a fighter design). In the Star Wars mod, a basic proton torpedo (quite devastating, BTW) has speed 6, range 8, damage 40, reload 3. I suggest you use that as a starting point, then adjust until you reach the effect you want.
