While I suppose that's fair enough of a point, I'd add 2 things:
1. By any measure, the new OMEGA and Romulan space sets were undertested... they have many things to be worked out (for instance, the way the torp works now was just to stop an exploit on the test server with people shooting all five charges as THY or TS). Also, consider that the omega weapon 3-piece set bonus is (by all appearances) nonfunctional as is the Romulan Plasma torpedo launcher (it's just a placeholder). Now is the best time for people to express their concerns with how it works.
2. Because the mechanism for this torpedo is different from other torpedos, it might make sense for it to not trigger GCD of normal torpedo launchers.

Do you honestly want to deal with the stupidity that will ensue when everyone and their mother are firing two crazy torpedoes every 1.5 seconds or so?

my only, I wouldn't quite call it a gripe, maybe a moderate negative about this torpedo is if you're close to the HY explosion, you can be hit by it as well. I put this up on another post yesterday but....

[Combat (Self)] Your Plasma Energy Bolt dealt 8608 (40035) shield damage to Mogai Escort.

[Combat (Self)] Your Plasma Energy Bolt deals 4448 (44483) Kinetic Damage(Critical) to Mogai Escort.

[Combat (Self)] Your Plasma Energy Bolt deals 40114 (48249) Kinetic Damage(Critical) to you.

I ended up vaporizing myself along side the mogai. Lesson learned, stay away from the bad guys.

That actually also happens with high yield versions of the regular plasma torpedo, and the tricobalt devices, I think.

I'd say that's intended, to discourage people from launching a destructible massive ball of death right on top of their enemies, so they don't have time to shoot it down.

In your case, this design decision seems to have worked :p

For those of us who won't be hitting this for a few days yet, anyone got a screen capture of its stats?

What slot do you have this torpedo in on your weapon equips?

The far left?

I initially slotted it in the far right (because torps usually-but not always-tend to fire left to right) but then I played around with it. Seems to make no difference... always takes firing priority over other torps.

I fly a fleet advanced escort with only this as my torp.

Why does the description say "Consume on Use"? I'm assuming it's Cryptic's copy/paste typo?

It's referring to the charging items. It replenishes them as soon as it uses them.
