I think my lack of coffee is affecting my understanding or connection abilities.

Is this the same 'bug/feature' that is on the bug/feature list?
If so, then I don't quite get why it would change the way we play stars.

This would come into play only when a deliberate action is taken into getting this into play.. and almost all non-stone age games will easily evade this problem.
It's only stone age games, imo, that will have a long time frame when alpha/beta/delta torp dds will be actively and aggressively used.

Am I missing something. It could be very possible, with the day I'm having so far.

I think (not 100% sure), we are talking about the 0.2% damage bug mentioned in the thread Known Bugs (JRC3) - Player Exploitable Bugs / "Features".

But I'd call it a variant because the example given in the list is late game and mentions numbers of several hundret shots.

In our game (but it's true for all Stars-games), we realized what a devasting effect it has against stacks of frigates, even DDs. And that it doesn't need hundrets of slots but just so lousy few to be devasting.

In the example I have given above there were only 6 stacks of 3 beta-DDs involved shreddering any number of stacked frigates. It's difficult and mostly also not right to call the presence of 6 different stacks of torp-ships cheating. It happens all the time when you gather your fleet to attack or defend.

And it seems very difficult to come up with a solution:
* Allow too less a number of stacks and it becomes unpractical.
* Allow too many (which is as low as 3 or 4 plus a station) and you have saved the croby-FFs but made sure that standard shielded FFs can be easily killed at a shocking low cost.

And after realizing this, I made the bold statement that it will change tactics in Stars for the first 30-40 years as much as chaff has changed the missile era.
