I'm bit confused about these things
I've been using heavy missiles and decided to upgrade my skill set so I can use torpedoes, no problem
But, they appear to do less damage than my heavy missiles when fighting pirate npc's in the level II missions
Are they only supposed to be used on certain ship types? or maybe structures?

You observed well. Torpedos are weak vs small/fast ships but work nice vs structures and battleships or slow ships with large signature. Skills and some modules do help somewhat, of course.
Never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die.

It's to do with the signature radius of a ship.
Target Painter could help.

Umm torps and cruise missiles are the most uber BS weapons in game. They have the highest DPS and are the only BS sized weapons that can hit small ships.
Quit complaining. My arty gets an average of 0.0 damage against small ships unless they are like 40km away and heading straight towards me.

Torps are for pretty much a anti-battleship only weapon now, you can use the against cruisers and bc's with some effect, though a target painter would help a fair bit. But if you know you will be primarily fighting frigs and cruisers, its better to bring cruise (or smaller) launchers instead.

Why are you using a BS for L2 missions? You'll do them faster in a cruiser and your ship won't fly like a pig.

Thanks, I noticed they did well against a structure.

I wasn't complaining, I was asking for clarification
Did you have to be rude in your response?

I'm new to the game, so i'm still experimenting.
I'll take that under consideration

Why would I be nice? You Caldari mission runners whined and moaned and the devs gave you everything you could have dreamed for in RMR well shafting the rest of the races.
So yeah I am going to whine and complain and the whole bit until they fix arty, blasters, phoon, sensor damps, the drone damage mod (they secretly removed)... and everything else they messed up for min and gal.
It worked for you agent running Jita loving Caldari.

I've played the game for less than a month but i'm a whining mission runner?
I was only asking why torpedoes weren't doing big damage like their specs suggested.

Don't worry about him Alshoff-like most forums, there's a lot of very helpful people on here. But you also get your usual retards too. Just ignore is my advice :)
