Strangely enough, in our group the opposite is true. On the whole the guys
found pulse torps more effective than beams. So much so that for a couple of
years no design used a beam larger than class2, and no-one used screens.
Fortunately that has all changed over the last year or so but Pulse torps
are still the weapon of choice amongst my colleagues.  I would have to say
the results from our battles match the stats quoted by Oerjan and everyone
else. However, if that doesn't tally with your observations then fair
enough.
