Is it changable? I can't find how if so. Sorry if the answer is obvious or this is asked a lot.

I don't think so.

So... If I want some plasma torpedoes that will get anywhere near a target with PDs, is there any advice someone can give me?

Use lots of them?

Well, the idea is that the ship is very slow, and has very slow guns. The torpedoes do a lot of damage, but move very slowly and are easy to dodge. Also, a bunch of torpedoes would tear the crap out of anything without PDs, and I want my ships balanced.

Requoting for emphasis.

There is nothing you can do besides "use moar", in the case of plasma torps, although that heavily depends on what kind of PD your enemy is using... same as other "super" weapons.

Make them stacked on eachother, so they seem to fire one projectile.

Is that possible? Won't they go all over the place?

Stacking turrets directly on top of each other isn't even necessary anymore for stacked projectiles. Just give 'em a burst of ten or so, with no deviation, and that'll do the trick.

Thanks, I'll try that out, it looks like this topic is done.

Can you modify the speed too?

Oh, gee, why don't you just open up Ship Maker, select a Plasma Weapon, click the "Edit" button, and see for yourself? Is it really that much easier to post and ask on the forum?
