Well.. Anti-BS Torpedoes have extended damage radii because of the Immunity problem.
Some sections of a ship are immune to explosions. So, to circumvent that, a bigger explosion radii was given to the nova.

Now, I've seen while experimenting with torpedoes recently that the explosion of a torpedo doesn't travel inside the ship. Most torpedoes seem to explode before hitting the hull of the ship. That might explain why the original blast radii didn't work against big ships. Because it exploded before hitting the ship's physical hull.

Regarding the damage multiplier problem, energy weapons don't do damage to multiple sections of a ship. They just damage the section impacted so they always do the damage at 1x.
Now, what's the main disadvantage of energy weapons against missiles? Accuracy. They are not fire and forget weapons. They follow a straight line between the target and the attacker. They are easier to dodge.
To diminish that problem, we need to make them fast enough to be difficult to avoid. They have to reach max_range in no more than one second. Range = 1000, then speed = 1000~1050.
