    We've all been there, staying with our team and a big torpedo comes your way. You dodge it but your teammate doesn't and the splash hits you.

    Personally, as a speeder this is very frustrating. I'll be minding my own business and a teammate decides to catch a big torpedo and I'm taken away -1400 hp for no reason. I have 2 fixes that resolve this issue.

    1) Torpedoes do not do splash damage when hitting an enemy and only damages the boat impacted by the torpedo. (But still does splash when hitting obstacles, shipwrecks, friendly teammates)

    Or...

    2) Torpedo's splash does 30% damage to nearly enemies ONLY WHEN hitting an enemy boat (but 100% damage to the boat impacted by the torpedo)

    Let me know whay you guys think

    I know how it feels, I've seen a single dumbass take out 2 friendlies and himself because he decided to eat a blatant big torp, needless to say we lost.

    I think the second idea is the best one at all levels.

    I remember getting hit by a big torpedo for over 2100 damage. As an mk4 shooter with only 2700 hp thar really hurts.

    Big torpedo deserves a really, really big nerf.

    Spash damage counting 100% sounds like a bug... I agree with #2

    Damn, somehow I've still never gotten 1 shot but I've been left with 100-400 hp in start of games. I run bandage so I can usually stay behind my team camping as a speeder with a sniper and rebuild hp but I stay a little salty...

    Hmm... I definitely understand the annoyance of your oblivious teammate getting hit by a torpedo, and all my teammates looking at him/her and being like, "Seriously, dude?" (Admittedly I sometimes am one of these people). However, the satisfaction of having a big torpedo go into a group of enemies is immense. Although I feel that, yes, it should be nerfed, I feel it's a way to punish the enemy for all camping around the enemy fixer and getting instantly healed. Hope this helps ;)
