Nova's and their like

Query: How about Capital Ship torpedoes? Can it be done and balanced?

Yes it can. You just change the hardpoints in shiparch.ini to allow one or two torpedo slots in place of two normal turrets. But the torpedo should require ammo, or the capship will become too much powerful. Another idea is to change the mortar (which is currently a torpedo, since it uses the same animation) to require ammo.
Another idea is to hardwire the novas in the bomber, and make it only to be sold with the bombers. But this will only work if the Taiidan have the agility of a freighter, not a VHF. Of course this will be a problem for infernos and mini razors, but ships with these weapons can also be sold in other bases. Anyway, I dont fly bombers, not because they are overpowered, but because they are ugly. If Igiss decide to turn the Death Scythe in a bomber, I will fly it.
