Replace the PTorps on all the ships under 100 mass with SMRs/SMR(er)s. 
This
gives you a larger and more meaningful weapons envelope, as cloaks can
be
very hit or miss for attack purposes.

All other ships with Ptorps should have the maximum 3 arcs.   Ptorps are
best as either long range sniping weapons or "in-your-face" heavy attack
weapons.  It would also help to have at least 1 class-3 beam on each of
those so you have some means of reply in  very long range fights.  Also
add
and extra firecon to every ship for redundancy, otherwise you will find
yourself without when surrounded.
