in pvp straight up your opponents nose at point blank after having trashed his shields with your guns
in sp ive never thought them much use cost/effect

Use torpedoes against Titan ships.

(It worked for me)

Wait till you get a mission when you have to destroy a Large Space Station or some Weapons Platforms, then completely oblierate them with your torpedoes, but fire them at close range otherwise they take an age to get there.
Great fun, believe me.

I use Starkillers as standard on my thunderbolt. Very nice torps and they are partially guided torps too. Though i believe the info says they are not. Will have to recheck that.

But yer, shoot out the guys shields in a head to head charge then launch the torp before he flies past you. If facing several tough AI's do the same to them. You will win.

If your facing a fleet of battleships and several fighters you can hit the BS's from out side their weapons range with them. However to see that work after finishing the campaign you need to try a mod like Hostile Universe.

GIskard: No, I sware you're right on that. I'm sure doing the arch that my Starkiller torps were homing slightly.

If it wasn't for the inky blackness of the night you wouldn't appreciate the brilliance of the stars...

wats the point in ahving sunslayer torps as by the time u get them there are no big things left to destroy besides the odd corsair wep platform

I prefer starkiller torpedo's. Sure the Sunslayers do way more damage but sjeesh they are expensive! Plus you have to be friendly with the Bundschu to even GET the Sunslayer torpedo launcer. All in all, I stick to the Starkiller torps for 373 credits per torp. If you give the torpedo an extra speed boost they will do mucho damage too.

i just keep em for some fun some times

When I first played the game I never used them, once, in fact I didn't even pay attention to them at all, although maybe I should have at least for some of the missions with bigger targets (can't say any more lol).

However, in the Rebalance Mod, I found them usefull for the ridiculously strong battleships that were added (even to lower level missions), but later on, after some Uber Weapons that come with the Mod, they become not only pointless but actually a slower way to destroy stations then your guns.

Live Long and Prosper.
