The ships hit by the Seismic Torpedo get to roll their own attack die, and suffer the effects of whatever they roll, which means they have a 50% chance of nothing happening (with a 37.5% chance of getting a hit result, and a 12.5% chance of getting a critical hit result).

You have a 50/50 chance of dealing out hurt, with a 12.5% chance of dealing out a lot of hurt. Including to your own dudes at Range 1. It's a neat little trick, though. One worth keeping up your sleeve.

Also, I think it's worth pointing out that the dropped 'debris cloud' is actually called the 'Cargo Token'  and technically is not a debris cloud (although it does functions identically to a debris cloud), just to avoid any confusion.
