[FT] One-shot Pulse Torpedos

I have no idea how often you can get shots in, I'd say it would vary
with the size of the ships--and something that's balanced for a
Komarov won't necessarily be balanced for an ash Shaulah strikeboat.

But if they can fire simultaneously, they're worth more than the equivalent
mass of regular PTorp: a) they can do more damage at once, increasing the
likelihood and severity of thresholds b) they only need one turn in range &
arc, not three c) you can get all your hits in before you start taking
thresholds and lose them.

Note that I always buy SMR, not SML+magazine, for the same reasons.  I
think SM magazine loads should be 1 mass (2 for ER) to make them more balanced
vs SMR. The distinction is not *quite* as great with PTorp because you're not
trying to overload the target's PDS.
