I am setting up a new sci character with a torp build, and I have two basic questions.
1. Does the Shield Penetration skill affect torpedos as well as energy weapons?
2. Is there an experimental weapon that can be fired from cloak using enhanced battle cloak?

2. If any did it would likely be either A] a kinetic damage weapon, and/or B] one of the ones that does not drain weapon power, as they would be the closest analogs to torpedoes. The answer is probably none, though.
Here's your quick access to the wiki of experimental weapons https://sto.gamepedia.com/Experimental_Weapon
I think the kinetic experimental weapons still count as energy weapons, similar to the KCB.
The only one I know of that neither takes away weapon power when firing, nor scales in dmg with weapon subsystem power, is the Agonized Subatomic Disintegrator from the Mirror Crossfield and Glenn class ships.
However, it can't be fired under cloak either. I don't think there is any that can be, but would very much like to know for sure.
Have you tried the Disintegrator with an EBC, say from the Temer class?

Give me a day and I can take a look and see. I can check that later tonight/tomorrow morning in a patrol with my fleet b'rel if no one has an answer by then.
