First submarines had the torps on the outside of the hull (WWI) they never had reload ability. To aim at realism, you should be able to develop a single large launcher first, but I would like to see BOX launchers like FFARS in later development. Where you can stack multiple to one launch salvo

I would be totally ok with attaching extra payload to the outside of the ship, though thats for NA.
Though i suppose that was just the first submarine-fired torpedo? The development kinda makes sense as surface ships obviously had everything on deck, so why would a submersible be drastically different?^^

Ability to only export non-obsolet classes to text file

And a better wait order, somehow I cant figure out how to use the existing one (and in Academy it looks like nobody else do),
using the existing field for order delay and an wait action.

This is not correct all operational submarines had internal torpedo tubes (the first American and British ones did, as did the French I beleive)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland_class_submarine) These Turkish subs are not really effective or operational submarines and as the Turkish navy in this period is a bad joke cannot be used as an example of technology I am not aware of them operating any modern warship until they started to aquire some just before WW1 .
British submarines up until WW2 sometimes had external tubes which could not be reloaded in addition to their internal tubes for use if they had a shot at a high value target.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_T_class_submarine)

The reason for the preference for internal tubes is maintenance , internal tubes allowed the torpedo's to be carried inside the hull and checked by torpedo men so reducing the chance of malfunction while external torpedo's where exposed to a nasty corrosive environment and tended to break even more than normal

torpedos in space arent affected by gravity and resistance that said any plans for plasma torpedos to play a great part

[wedgebert]

Plasma torpedoes don't make a lot of sense. Why waste the energy to maintain a dense enough ball of plasma across light-seconds of distance when you can just create the plasma at the point of impact via a nuclear explosion?

Terror?

"Cap'n! There's a great honking flamin' ball of fire headed towards us!"

Well their great advantage is always going to be the difficulty of interception and the infinite ammo, both of which makes conventional missile defence almost useless.

Meh, obviously we just need anti-plasma missiles that are packed with shaved ice designed to rapidly cool the plamsa. I hear grape is the most effective flavor.

If I run out of Boronide at a planet, click that and everything that wants it is paused.

good idea

Yes please.

steve any feedback on the pause-unpause idea when minerals run out
