Typhoon Torpedoes are an improved torpedo technology; they do considerably more damage than ordinary torpedoes. However, they are also much slower, because they are intended mostly for use against large and slow-moving capital ships. As a result, sufficiently skilled pilots can often dodge around them.
Pods enable fighters and other light craft to carry small quantities of typhoon torpedoes into battle while retaining enough space for other weapons. Large ships are better off with full-size launchers.
