    So I was making a sweet torpedo bomber using Drakkart's torpedoes with some extra blocks, but when I tried to test them they flew every direction except the one I wanted. How am I supposed to get them to fly straight?

    the direction the weapons COMPUTER controlling the blocks faces determines which way they naturally fire. For DUMBFIRE missiles this matters, but for lock-ons it just leads to a cool "blossom" effect and actually helps juke AMS.

    He's talking about logic ship torpedoes and the real issue is if you don't fly steady they'll go any direction but the one you are aiming due to colliding with the main ship. Use a push clock and whatever number of warheads you think you'll need but so far without synchronizing the detonations the blast seems to be that of only one. :(
