Many of us use Avalons all the time to fight large groups of bots like Unrats but the Avalon is designed for use against cap ships so I thought why not make the lonely Avalon a new friend and have a dedicated anti-fighter torpedo. It would of course have counter measures to avoid abuse in PvP. I think it should be a bot drop like the Avalon Launcher but I'm not sure about the bot that should drop them, maybe just give it to Arklans so you can either get anti-cap-ship or anti-fighter torpedos.

Archer Torpedo Launcher
4/4/4/0/0
Large Port
Damage: 10.000
Energy: 60
Ammo: 4
Proximity Fuse: 50m
Splash Radius: 200m
Safety Fuse: 2s
Velocity: 35m/s
Mass: 1.600 kg
Grid: 12
Life Time: 20s

To avoid abuse in PvP I gave it a 2 second safety fuse (the time it takes before the proximity fuse can get activated) and 20 seconds of life time. Is that enough/too little?

it is interesting, I would suggest upping the grid to 11-13 so only one can be equipped due to the ability to take out a large furball on proc and maybe a mass of 2000 and a heavy license of 8-10

+1 I'll make a longer post later. But I have always wanted some sort of small port torp.

I changed the grid to 12 but I think the weight should be similar to the Avalon, which is 1.600 kg. As for the licenses, I think the Avalon doesn't even need any licenses because it's a bot drop (Please correct me if I'm wrong). I was thinking of removing the license requirements if the Avalons don't have them either but I'm not sure about that so I just gave it 4/4/4/0/0.

@We all float
This is a large port and I think Torpedos should always be large port weapons because they are huge, bulky and powerful weapons.
