Do you mean remove their shields?

oh lol.  When you said "Orgov torpedoes," I read that as "Orgov Torpedo Cruisers."  Hence my confusion.

And anyways, you can do it..  Sort of..  You have to do it via SC, but it can be done.

I'm assuming he just finds it odd that gargantuan slow moving objects that threaten to blow you up don't get shot at.

Dedicated missile boats, yes.  You can do that.  The problem is that on ships which would ordinarily carry normal SC and have rockets, you can't do that.  The only way to have them in the game now and have them work remotely correctly is to use SC on missile boats and just say that the missiles in capital ships are capable of evasive maneuvers or something.

I suppose you could use frigates instead, but whichever system you used would be ridiculous if you wanted to FF anything.
