While the APT does allow the conversion of 3 blank results to a Focus result, that in and of itself isn't overly useful, as pointed out by the last response. But if you had ATP paired up with the Marksmanship elite talent, which lets you convert 1 Focus result to a Crit Hit, and all others to standard Hit results, this upgrade would be much more effective.

Also, just to point out, and I'm sure you've already noticed, ATPs only increase your attack dice by 1 over the regular proton torpedoes, which really is just the same as you would do with primary weapons at range 1, so not much gained there. So, take the above scenario of the ATP combined with Marksmanship on Wedge, who's pilot effect decreases the defenders agility by 1, and now you've greatly increased your chances to hit, while reducing the opponents chance to dodge.

Again, can you afford to spend the points?
