Torpedo

"Torpedoes" are projectile weapons that are fired from tubes, which in turn can be mounted onto the hulls of various ships. They have three properties:

• "crew kill" value determines the number of crew the torpedo will kill if the shields of the target ship are down,
• "Damage" value determines the damage that the particular torpedo will do to the hull or shield of a ship,
• "Mine lay" value determines the number of mines that the tube will lay per torpedo if the ship is set to Lay mines as the primary mission. It is the square of the tube's position.

Notes

• Most effective weapons are Mark 4 Photons early game, and Mark 7/8 late game.
• Each torpedo cost 1 of each mineral.
