I'd say that the reason is that the pulse torp ignores screens, whereas
armour affects pulse torps and beams roughly equally <g> The problem
(for
the pulse torp) is that it really needs level-2 screens to take
advantage
of this itself, and... well. Level-2 screens aren't as powerful as they
look on paper, like :-/
