p-torps pretty well fit with star trek photon-torpedoes. What he is
after is a huge ball of plasma that follows its target, getting weaker
with range. In SFB you could shoot a plasma, for every two points of
damage you did the plasma torp lost a potential damage point. They
were trying to model ST:TOS.
