Besides the fact the parabolic ballistic trajectory makes exactly zero sense in outer space, it looks amazing.
Consider them being launchers perpendicular to the main axis of the ship, and it's suddenly more plausible. Few tubes sideways or on the bottom could reinforce that concept though, but I'm pretty sure that's easily doable now.
a vertical launcher would be more efficient in terms size reduction. A large turreted ring takes up space for the motor and stabilization suites, and a single vertical launch tube opens up more room for more torpedoes. 'fixed' launchers also make PvP more dynamic.

I'd prefer using these vertical 'launch tube' weapons instead of a normal turreted 'missile pod' type things.
