Nova torpedos

So using mortars might give it an advantage but also creates a disadvantage. Cruisers and BSs using it are VERY ineffective.

I have to disagree Dab.
I have been experimenting with Mortars on one of my cruisers. If I apply thrusters before I fire the Mortar, it moves at an increased speed and becomes highly maneuverable and I have seen it make 90 degree turns and take out fighters. I keep two on my Rheinland cruiser and can use this to take out Nomad fighters which I have a very hard time hitting with my cruiser turrets. It uses about 30% of my energy to fire two. I might could fire three but 2 takes out almost any VHF if they hit and leaves me enough power for my turrets to finish off any straggelers.

Yes, if I fire it from normal speed, it is extremely slow, maneuvers poorly and can almost be dodged by a battleship.

This makes mortars on a Battleship almost useless unles fighting battleships but, it can be a very effective weapon on a cruiser (or prison/luxury liner) if used properly.

My next experiment is to see if this also works for missles, making them more effectice.
