Summary

Basics

• Flight speed: Approximately 110m/s
• Ammunition type: Projectile
• Guidance: YOLOL and/or laser designator

Ship usage

Torpedos can be found on the following ships, either as its default, or as a variant:

• Veles

Parts

Torpedos are modular projectiles comprising several components, some of which are optional. Here is a list of all Torpedo components:

• Main Thruster
  • Maindrive for the torpedo
• Fuel Tank
  • At least one is needed for flighttime, more are optional.
• Yolol Slot
  • Allows space for two yolol chips. Optional.
• Maneuver Thruster
  • Allows the torpedo to change its trajectory. Optional.
• High Explosive Warhead
  • Will explode when field Detonate is set to 1. Optional, but 1 is recomended.
• Laser Sensor
  • Nose of the torpedo. receives fielddata from a connected Laser Designator.
• Fuse
  • Will activate the High Explosive Warhead when field conditions are met. Can be used without Yolol chips.

Device usage

While a torpedo can be launched using a universal tool, they are best used in conjunction with the torpedo tube.

Torpedos can be 'guided' using YOLOL or with the use of a laser designator, shown below.

Device fields

To learn more about how to use fields, consult these wiki pages:

• Universal Tool
• Data networks
• YOLOL
