The Nova Torpedo spread fires multiple Nova Torpedos
which pulsate within thier translucent violet casings.
The torpedos are extremely powerful, and decimate 
enemy vessels and bases alike. Each torpedo explodes 
with the force of a micro super nova. The weapon
uses a lot of energy, travels at a medium
speed, and is not very accurate, but is sufficient
to take down multiple enemy ships' shields and cause
considerable damage in a single volley.
