OK, so today I bought some Tricobolt Torps with my Exploration Marks and here's my thoughts on them. (Seeing as I'm apparently the first one to combat test them)
1: They're VERY poweful (see screenie)
2: They're pretty slow, roughly slower than heavy plasma
3: They have a very long cool down time
I'm going to keep testing them to see what I think of them over a longer period of time, but these are my inntial thoughts thus far.
