It's time to recognize that torpedoes are guided missiles.

Torpedoes are not bombs. They work like every other type of non-FOF guided missile. Large turrets are boosted by tracking computers, enhancers, webs, tracking skills, implants and rigs. Why no love for torpedoes? Why are target painters the only item that make torpedoes more effective at hitting smaller targets?

It's time that torpedo explosion radius was modified by rigor catalysts, Deadeye ZMAXXX implants and the guided missile precision skill.

Guided missile does not mean what you seem to think it means. In this game, its just a term to refer to cruise missiles, standard missiles and heavy missiles.

Don't try to argue balance changes based on terminology.

Missiles (both cruise and torp) used to pwn in pvp, but they've been nerfed into the ground. Just bring back aoe torps.Cool
