The FTL Torps are a very interesting idea; however, not everyone
ascribes to the "FTL Bomb" approach on the theory that it can lead to
chesesy tactics .

I think their Disruptor weapon looks very much lilke a needle
beam--you may want to add a weapon which is capable of more damage and
longer range.  Look through the Weapons and Defenses archive, you'll
probably find something interesting.
