Concerning torpedoes, will there be an advantage to using different types of torpedoes? For example:
Antimatter Torpedo - Small and cheap. Not very strong. Fire rate 1
Photon Torpedo - Moderate balance between size, cost, and power. Fire rate 2
Quantum Torpedo - Strong but larger and more expensive. Fire rate 3

The torpedoes you've mentioned above are all from the same weapon family. They all share a fire rate of 2, but differ in power and range. While Anti-Matter torpedoes are considered early tech and wouldn't stick around for too long, Photon Torpedoes should remain popular to their low cost and decent performance, in fact, they are the highest level of torpedo for most races. The Federation, Romulans, and Dominion have additional torpedo options, but due to some of their limitations or costs, I would think that Photons would remain a viable option for their ships as well.
