What is the proper key sequence to get photon torpedoes to launch more then one at a time? I am pressing ctrl - shift. Every now and then I get a multiple spread, but usually just one shoots. Am I just not pushing keys fast enough?
From what ive seen you shoot multiple torps when you crit. I went from being able to shoot 2 when I crit to 3 and now I range from 3 or a stream of like 7 torpedos. Really awsome when that happens.
Im also pretty sire that High Yield skill doubles the amount of torps you shoot. So if you use it normally you get 2 torps but if you crit whilst using it you will get 4 torps.
There's also a graphic bug that will fire multiple torpedos, but only one actually hits.
Hmm I thought it was crits. That made the most sense to me as its pretty randomn when it happens.
Ok please understand that this is my first MMO. Please define CRIT? LOL
Yeah not a problem.
CRIT = Critical Strike
Basically a crit is a stronger than usual attack against a mob. It can vary but usually its between 1.5x and 2x normal damage. You have a % chance for one of your normal atacks to instead be a critical strike. Obtaining items that increase your crit will make you crit more often.

Next time that happens, look at your combat chat tab if you have one. Only the actual torpedoes that were supposed to fire do any damage. It's just a graphical bug.
I once fired off well over 25 torpedoes, long enough to connect a line of torpedoes from me to my target. Looking at my combat chat tab, only the first 3 from High Yield II showed in the log.
Another time, when I was using Spread (dropped that for High Yield II, which gives 3 torpedoes), I fired off this insanely massive volley of torpedoes that covered everything in front of me and seemingly engulfed 6 ships. When looking in the combat chat tab, only the 3 ships centered on my target took the aoe damage.
High Yield I gives one extra torpedo, II gives 2 extra torpedoes, and so on. I have yet to have those ever double from a critical hit. My criticals only do massive damage. However, I have begun to notice that I sometimes do fire off 2 torpedoes with a normal shot. I wasn't able to pin-point whether they were crits or not because I was distracted each time. I will be looking out for it now though, as I am wondering if it is one of my other powers doing this, or what. I suspect mayhaps my 2nd torpedo bay is fireing at the same time as my first, which would be a bug, for I have never had this happen on my rear torpedo bay where I only have 1 slotted.

I have noticed that the damage done by shooting 2 or 3 or 7 torps is very similar. This would explain that well. Tbh though im not sure if I want em to fix it. Shooting 7 torps in a stream to your target is very awesome.

Please do double check next time you fire off 7 torpedoes do see that they all do damage. Keep in mind, damage listings are double listed in certain circumstances, like shield penetration.

Yes. It's one of the best space skills to have IMO

High yield torpedos is a Tactical officer skill.
Crit=Critical hit, when an attack has a % chance to do extra damage.
