Fulcrum Torpedoes

This is a stupid question, I know, but how do you use them? Do they go to your nav marker, target, or what? Several times, I have had one go off in my face and nothing happened. Is this a bug or do they only hit AI ships or hostiles?

They go straight in the direction you are facing when you fire them. Not sure how you survived a close encounter. They self detonate at about 2000 units away, I believe, and act as a space nuke.

So its really fire and jump away quick - and far enough not to be blown up yourself by your own weapon!!!

Nasty things really, but there are some nefarious pilots out there who love to use them. BA not not advocate the use of WMD!!! Picking on lone and vulnerable pilots yes, but not WMD.

make sure your moving AWAY at about 2k velocity before you launch

And make sure you're not doing contracts with other pilots.

Yup, otherwise some of your fellow pilots is gonna be into that nuke range and kaboom.

But only once. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ... and evidently Scotty isn't my engineer.
