I call them torpedoes. My fighters (the single seat ones) have three missile "hardpoints" and 1 beam laser. The hardpoints can be used to carry one regular missile each or combined to carry one torpedo. The hardpoints are belly mounted so the adaptation is simple to do. The missiles can be launched in pairs or singly at the same target.
The two man "torpedo bombers" are dedicated to carrying 3 torpedoes only, but have a tailgunner armed with a rear-mounted beam laser for defense since they a larger and slower than the regular fighters. The torps can all be fired at the same time with this craft at the same target.
I know it's unorthodox, but I like a slightly WW2-ish flavor to my fighters and carriers so I have fighters, escort fighters, torpedo bombers, and "Growlers"- which is my deviation from the norm to add a fighter that acts like the Prowlers or Intruders. They carry drones to spoof ECM and other defenses, but no other weapons.
