Yes, in my original question I meant Plasma Torps, I never even got to the point of researching Quantum Torps. Are those good?

From suicide_junkie's post(s):
damage rating (damage per turn per Kt space)
Anti-Matter Torp V: 0.625, normal
Quantum Torp V: 1.25, normal

Which means the Anti-Matter Torps are fairly weak, but the Quantum Torps are among the better heavy weapons. IIRC, the Quantum Torps have pretty good range as well; don't recall the ranges on the Anti-matter torps.

Speaking of range, the main reason to use Hellbores is that they're one of the few range 8 direct-fire weapons. The damage at range 8 is kinda small, but at least you can do damage that far out.
