I tried torps last night against Cruisers and frankly my Heavy missiles do more damage and they go much further. If its just a BS-specific killer... it just isn't worth it. I have yet to see a level 4 mission with just BS'es in it.

Your right, torps are only for BS's for the most part. And they are worth in in fleet battles. In missions, cruise missiles have a better dps than torps.
hope this helps

Target painting ftw! Personally I'm mostly using torpedoes for ratting in 0.0... also you don't have to use full set of torpedoes... could have like one or two launchers. Torpedoes ain't that bad when you know how to use them. Cruise missiles is more all around but can't achieve as high damage output.

I agree that cruise missiles are usually better than torps, but when you have one particular BS you have to kill in a mission they are essential. The two that spring to mind are Zor and the boss in Vengeance; Zor to stop his missile-spamming as fast as possible and the Vengeance boss because his tank is just too tough without.
In fact, for the Vengeance boss I usually refit with an extra BCU once all the rest are dead - even with the time taken to warp out and come back in, it's quicker with a second BCU. And it saves ammo, too.

Im not sure what your cruise missle and overall missle skills are but i can kill the final boss in vengenace without realoding with cruise missles.. I stick 5 T2 medium drones on her and my cruise missles and she goes down pretty fast.

Torps rock! They do awsome damage to BS/BC's and with a bit of target painting to cruisers, they still do great damage. They're also good when doing an all-battleship POS gank.
Edit: and they also make pretty explosions when they connect.

Torps are for BS's , Cruises for cruisers :D.
Torps = 18.75 DPS = 37.5 km range
Cruise = 13.63 DPS = 75.0 km range
Without skills.

Maybe CCP needs to remove all 3D models of NPC's and replace them with white 2D squares with the NPC's name typed in the square. I miss pong.

QFT ^^.
I changed my setup from all cruise to 2 torp, 4 cruise. It works great, BS's go down much faster. I use medium drones and cruises on anything smaller than a BC. With my skills, I do around 500+ per torp and 350+ per cruise.

A Raven with Torpedoes, 3 target painters, hardeners and a remote tank will beat your puny cruise missiles by a large margin. Single volley cruisers just like before the implementation of Explosion Radius and Velocity.

I rat in deep 0.0 with torps. Since I mostly only kill the BS, they rock big time

as soon as there are 2++ BS in a group/spawn .. Trops rock ... if u got the sec. skills ...
but on other hand they are damm slow ... so killing a BS at 50++ Range u cant switch of ur trops if the BS is getting into struc .. coz u will still have some trop on the way ... ( talking about 6xTorp)
For pure ratting in 0.0 .. who needs cruise anyway .. most time u just get like 2-3 bc/frigs in the spawn and u can kill that with pure drones ...
but u might get into trouble if a pvp gang jump into ur system

Same here, torps are awesome. Can kill the cruiser/frigs if you use enough but they really shine against BS.

There is nothing more satisfying than hitting a saint with a full volley of torps and watching it's shield tank buckle.

T2 torps are a lot of fun to, both the rages and the javelins.

For deep 0.0 ratting torps are the dogs dangly bits. 
Drones clear up the rest.
...on the other hand using a banana might be a viable alternative.

... and you get to yell "Torpedoes away!" or "fish in the water!" (especially fun and exciting when using teamspeak with others, lol, when you fire them! What more could you want from such a great weapon? ;)
j/k ... I'm newer, especially to these boards, but I'll put my throw in with torpedoes. My experience lies mostly within PvE ratting and missions, but I do find putting a pair of Siege Launchers on my Raven to compliment the Cruise Launchers gives you that extra edge when fighting the larger ships.
Adding a target painter if you can spare the MedSlot will increase the damage to smaller ships, making them more effective against Cruisers, etc.
Cheers :)

Man, remember the days when you could kill a frig with 2 torps from 5km away? that was nice. And then they did the Missle Overhaul, and I couldn't kill anything. But 6 million skill points later, and its ten times better than it was, as they said it would be. Torps for me do the same amount of damage on cruisers as they do on battleships, if theyre both at 80km or so. It's just that cruise are so much faster, I will usually use them to same time.
Now the Javelins, those are fun. But they're usually more than I want to spend on my ammo, unless I'm doing an Extrava or something.
