[FT] SV-Pods

In getting to know the SV, I've become convinced that Pods are 
underpowered to the point of near uselessness as offensive weapons. One 
solution I'd like to experiment with is upping the energy cost of an 
offensive pod (lance, leach) to say 5 or 6 power points to get 
Pulse-torp range and to-hit rolls. I'm not sure how it balances 
math-wise and probably only play-testing would be telling.

Have other SV players felt pods to be weak?
