I'll start off with assuming that size 9 torps were only buffed to the insane level they have now to allow players to destroy the Idris at the XenoThreat event. With that out of the way, and assuming the torps are place-holder damage, I'll say how I think it should be: It was way better when a size 9 torp dealt around 50-70k damage. The reason for this is that it's way too easy to destroy large ships. It was better when it took: - 2 torps to destroy a Caterpillar - 4 torps to destroy a Carrack or a Hammerhead - etc. Before people jump on me, keep in mind we have even larger torps coming at some point with the Polaris size 10 torps. I really think the kind of damage a size 9 does should eventually be reserved for the Polaris. That a single Eclipse can one-tap e.g. a Hammerhead doesn't seem right.
