If you're seriously going after someone, expect to die quickly and messily if using beta torp DDs.

It is all a question of what you are battling. Just like in the later game you often mix beamers and torp/missile ships and try to keep the torp ships all undamaged.

Heavy shielded beamer frigates may be effective against beamer destroyers, beamer destroyers against beta torp ships (either destroyer or frigate) and beta torps against the shielded beamer frigates.

A weakness with torps is extra fuel needed because of their weight (which affects longer range attacks).
