In the BC duel Jon managed to do 22 points of beam battery damage to the Basilisk with an 18 die attack (I even had one operational screen when he fired). My BC expanded in a debris field as this was the exact amount of damage required to destroy the ship, though Jon was also destroyed that same turn by fire from other nearby BC's. It was a good fight, and I had a great time in Jon's duel. Also for the record, Indy was in command of two Narn missile frigates in my scenario "Kill the Bin'Tak" Saturday night. We all know Indy's record when firing Pulse Torpedo's, well as a Narn firing Ion Torpedo's he must have had a telepathic link to War Leader W'Kan. Indy fired 16 Ion torps and hit with 10. Therefore, I think the 'Indy curse' is not related directly to torpedo weapons, only pulse torpedos. While playing in Indy's Starfleet Wars background scenario Sunday morning, I proved one thing for myself. I need to shoot larger missile salvos if I want to cause any damage to enemy ships. My Entomalian cruiser fired both of it's salvo missiles in one turn which resulted in attacks on both a Aquarian cruiser and battlecruiser. The Aquarian ships received no damage from the attacks, as the single missile fired at both ships was destroyed by the PDS.
