There is one other LF with a torp mount - the Nomad fighter. But it only has 3 gun/missile mounts so it's not unbalancing.

An interesting question, Korrd. If that were the case, the LF wouldn't have a role. In my opinion a skilled pilot in a LF should have a good chance against a VHF, maybe even an advantage. VHFs are not just for dogfighting but for taking on bigger cap ships, which LFs are not so good at. LFs should be for just fighting other fighters.
I'm also against putting torps on LFs, and was pleased when Igiss removed them from the Class 9 LFs in 4.78. I haven't flown the Slipstream but it sounds like it didn't ought to have a torp (just a CD). I think the Nomad one should stay though.
