Note: These rules written for FT2/MT.  Have not converted to FB rules. 
You 
may not like them as written, but maybe it will lead to a better set of 
rules from someone else.

  Plasma Torp: Charges as Wave Gun.  Fires and Moves per MT Missile
rules.	
First turn Damage = 3d6, Second turn 2d6, Third 1d6.  If it hasn't hit 
anything by turn 3, remove from play.

  Screens don't protect.  Plasma Torp damage is determined when target
ship 
fires it's weapons.  Batteries (Beams) can be used against Plasma Torp
just 
before it hits.  Score hit's as if firing at unscreened starship. 
Deduct 
beam damage (if any) from Plasma's damage result.
