I'm never gonna spam an enemy with that useless arse arti, might as well make them usable against npcs. They're not that easy to come by, but if you're not an arti spamming asshole, you generally have no other use for them.

I think they should destroy all or a significant fraction of an npc's shield if used, and the damage counts to the one who fires the arti.

far from useless .. i used dozens to get my hull tests for the lutuma chain and traded for the kassivar items. higher ranks likely used even more.

You sir have apparently never had to deal with an opponent whom has over 200k shields.

Far from useless, they actually make killing an opponent much less tiresome whilst still maintaining the "rules"(like there are rules in a war game anyway) of PvP.

Contrary to your ideology, Krionite Torpedo's aren't considered arti spamming by the masses. They're actually recognized as a normal part of PvP, much like flares & clouders are recognized as part of hacking.

So please get down off your high horse by comparing artifact spamming to using a single Torpedo against an opponent.

Lastly, Krio Torp's against NPC's.... really... there isn't a single NPC in this game with enough Shields to even warrant that b/s.

Meh, I save up my torpedoes for when it's time to collect Marks of War, and then use 'em to save on a bit of energy for the folks I take down.

We're talking PvP targets with 200k shields

Obviously you've never been alerted in any strong legions..... Krionite torpedos can save you soo much clicking when dealing with those tough SSB's or the strong high rank players with crazy amounts of shields.. To use one on an NPC would be a huge waste in my opinion.

-1

rarely bother to use them, so they just pile up
Krionite Torpedo (Uses Left: 791) and Chaostatic Inhibitor (Uses Left: 2479)

but using them against NPC's would be pointless, NPC shields doesnt regenerate and as the dammage cap is fixed at rank * 2.5 for NPC's
how mutch hull +´shield it have is more or less just a mesure for how mutch energy Dan wants you to spendt killing it

if you want to make an NPC easy to kill (cost less energy to kill) we already have the raix weapon for that

torpedo's are nice to use on some ships. example im packing over 300k shields and more then double the hull are you sure you would want to hit a ship like that and not use a torpedo lol.

last person who took my ship on honestly took over 30 mins to kill my ship.

now as for using torpedo's it more for higher ranks and some lower ranks who do not want to waste a few extra seconds on a ship since lower ranks do not have much shields lol
