Plasma Torpedo Launcher

Heavy Plasma Torpedoes
When using the ability "Torpedo: High Yield", instead of firing multiple standard torpedoes, Plasma Torpedo Launchers will fire one single "Heavy Plasma Torpedo" that, if it hits the target, does massive damage. However, it travels much slower than a standard torpedo, and is destructable.

Players and NPC ships can shoot down an incoming Heavy Torpedo, and an Automated Defense Battery console can shoot them down automatically. This is very useful as a defensive upgrade when fighting Romulan or Reman NPCs during the Commander-level sections of the game, as well as Borg NPCs during Special Task Force missions.

Note: 23rd Century s do not fire a Heavy Plasma Torpedo with Torpedo: High Yield. They fire a salvo of torpedoes, similar to a Photon Torpedo Launcher.
