Keep in mind that the missiles has almost no penetration against shields, where as torpedoes do.

Yeah this is a good point too. I have noticed this. That is where the shield stripping mines come in.

i bought one too. it could be a nice addition, but its actually pretty useless for me

They should make the Rapid Fire Missile Launcher NOT to use Torpedo Buffs. Because of its fast recycle, it always "steals" away the High Yield and Spread Buffs of my Quantum Torpedos. That makes it kind of useless in tandem and auto-firing with another Torpedo Launcher, as you loose als the Buffs for the "big" Torps.

For 200 Lobi, it should work in that configuration.

Yes, though it already has a two-second recharge. It can be useful to pair a rapid-fire missile with a slow-firing one, like a Tricobalt, because the slow torp's cooldown can be reduced significantly as the rapid-firing one procs the doffs.

It originally wasn't affected torpedo powers, I think. I don't know when they changed that, but I noticed this problem, too.

It's an important consideration.
