Weapons, engines and mods, Oh my!

[kalthalior]

I wouldn't say torps are useless -- damage doesn't fall off at range, unlike other DF weapons. As mentioned, you can also mod them to have a small "to hit" bonus to make them more effective (I went w/ +10% on a personal mod). Quantums can be pretty effective in mounts (esp. base/platform). Although ship mount dam/kt (300/80?, someone correct me if I'm wrong) isn't the best ratio in the game, it still doesn't totally bite.
