Ok so I'm going to be getting a t'varo retro and fleet and use the fleety, and im wondering, since they have such excellent turn rates im going to use rom rep plasma turrets& dhcs, i heard the rom rep set adds plasma damage...am i misinformed? My thoguth was again if rom set DOES add palsma damage ill do full rom shields, delfector & engines, with rom plasma weps, fleet embassy palsma damage enhacning sci consoles, standard plasma infuser consoles for tac, and resist eng modules at fleet dil mine. Any suggestions will be welcome BUT I'M STICKING TO PLASMA XD

Those fish are much like their masters, filthy backstabbers... All battlecloaked fish, waiting for the right moment...

Romulan shield set helps the survivability of your plasma torps.
Romulan weapon set boost plasma damage.
T'varo console gives you the cool overcharged plasma torpedo.
In order to get the plasma bonus you need at least 2 of the 3 pieces in the Romulan Singularity Harness set. The T'varo does not come with anything that contributes to it. Also the bonus only looks at base weapon damage, so it only works out to around 2% after everything else. You'll want the console anyway, you might be able to convince yourself to put the beam or torpedo launcher on your T'varo, but neither of them is really a good fit for an assault frigate like the T'varo.
The other set is the Romulan Prototype Space Set, which is the engine, shield, and deflector. The set bonuses do not boost plasma damage.

Another fun fact: the Destabilized Plasma Torpedo console is treated as a weapon. Tactical consoles increase its damage as if it were a plasma torpedo and Projectile Weapon Officers reduce its cooldown normally. If you use 3 VR PWOs and combine it with a fast firing torpedo like the Romulan one, you can fire the Destabilized *way* more often than advertised. (Like, under a minute wait per shot, making it a viable weapon instead of a gimmick.)
This also allows you to run at extremely high Aux for heals and crowd control.
You can stick DHCs and turrets on a T'varo and do just fine, same as any small ship with a high turn rate and a lot of tactical console slots, but it's a truly spectacular torpedo boat.
That works. Another alternative is to hit the Red Ball of Doom as close to a target as possible (I like to skate in at full impulse until about 3 km or so), and hit Singularity Jump as soon as you've fired.
This no longer works since the Oct 3 patch:
