Currently, pirates in fighters have no effective way of both defense and pirating at the same time.

If you use the CD/T hardpoint with a torpedo, you have no way to stop the transport from just cruising away from you with nothing but wasted time. If you use the CD/T with a Cruise Disruptor, it takes longer to kill the transport itself (Assuming they don't pay, which is usual), as well as having more trouble dealing with escorts that are in gunboats (You shouldn't be able to take down Cruisers and Battleships alone w/o a bomber anyways).

The idea I like the most is to just make all CD/T hardpoints torpedo hardpoints, and to add one CD hardpoint to each ship. "The Next Generation" mod implemented this, and it didn't really cause any problems, and I don't see why it should cause any in Discovery either.

Thoughts?

Edit: Whoops, added 2 of the same option on the poll.
