Supposed to give 30% boost to targetable torpedoes.
According to this thread on reddit, it's not boosting HY torpedo speeds at all.

Surely it's not meant to only increase the speed of non-enhanced (HY or torpedo spread) torpedoes, right?
It looks like a standard temporal distortion device is 30% faster than a HY (and likely torpedo spreads), based on the numbers on that thread.

Map: Any Space map
Map Move: NA
Issue: Not sure Swarmer Matrix console speed or turn rate works with pets or destroyable torpedoes. I do not see a difference with my torpedoes like Vaadwaur Cluster and Transphasic Cluster or pets, or any destroyable torpedoed.
Steps: Sit 9.8km ish away from a none moving target with the Swarmer Matrix console. A fake PvP map with 2 players is a good testing ground. Fire both types of Cluster torpedo and a Hyper Romulan torpedo (All destroyable torpedo's seem to be effected) time how long it takes for the torpdeo to hit the target. Now fit the Swarmer Matrix console and repeat the steps. If its working the time to hit target should be much faster but its the same amount of time.
Next repeat the steps with and without Torpedo Pre-Fire Sequence Rank 2, with and without Swarmer Matrix. There is a speed boost from Torpedo Pre-Fire Sequence which works. The Swarmer Matrix Speed boost is not stacking.
Next repeat the steps with and without Advanced Prototype Space Set for High Yield only, with and without Swarmer Matrix. The Swarmer Matrix Speed boost is not stacking.
Next load my Vorgon Ryn'kodan Carrier with the 3 Vorgon consoles fitted which Set 3: Destructive Velocity +20 Flight Speed for your Mines and Targetable Torpedoes. Test the speed boost with and without Swarmer Matrix. The Swarmer Matrix Speed boost is not stacking.
Hangar Pets I am not convinced are getting the speed boost or turn rate but I have not found a reliable way to test.
It seems that this is an update to the report in ticket#419435. I can forward another report to the team for further investigation. If you already posted a bug report on the forums previously, I suggest updating that post as well. If there are no posts yet, you can post a new one. You can also let the other players that are experiencing the same issue chip into your post so that the developers and community team would be able to have more sample size of the players experiencing the issue.
Destructible torpedo builds would be much more fun if they were getting the speed boost from this console, as is in the current state of the game these types of torpedoes are falling far behind in use because of your average high dps player time to kill and the torp's slow speed to target causing them to get shot down by enemies putting out higher dps and far outclassed by other build types not needing to wait on weapon travel time. Console needs fixed or the underlying problem that has became worse over time, buff the base speed of targetable torpedoes.
So we need more people reporting this as a bug if we ever want to see it fixed.
Much appreciated!
We report a bug on the respective game forum, and at some point, that bug will be fixed. Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it's fixed quickly - it all depends on how the game code works for the bugged feature.
