Well regarding Proton Torps, I assumed I'd have a focus from Operations Specialist (since my 5 small ships fire before the Gozanti), but after further research, I've now remembered Huge ships cannot use focus tokens. (I should have reviewed that rule sooner). It's still useful for the swarm... but I could swap ops spec for Weapons Engineer so I have a spare lock when I spend an action on something (recover, reinforce, chiraneau, etc). If I also swap Needa for Rear Admiral Chiraneau (Crew), that could allow me to both ram better and fire ordnance in a turn.

In that case I'd go with Ion Torps. When ships are vulnerable from Ion, I could move 1 forward with Engine Booster (no collision allowed), perform my maneuver (e.g. 2 bank or 4 forward; collision allowed), and move 1 forward again with Chiraneau (collision allowed). With luck I could take some cocky pilots by surprise and ram a whole formation, maybe even survive the self-damage. :D
