Dual launcher system capable of launching a torpedo barrage. Devastating to slow ships that can't move out of the way in time.
A very large weapon system, the Cyclone-class launcher is listed as having two large torpedo tubes with an internal magazine that carries twenty Reaper torpedoes. The fire control system is linked and fires two Reaper-class torpedoes in tandem. An automatic loader prepares the next salvo from the magazine in seconds.

–In-Game Description
|
The Cyclone Reaper Launcher is a large launcher for the Reaper-class Torpedo. It is the larger version of the Typhoon Reaper Launcher. Some players find it useful to decelerate while flying directly towards the target (C + W) in order to nullify any relative sideways movement. Reaper torpedoes have a 0.5 second arming time so firing at point blank will cause them to bounce unpredictably.
