the game is what it is, there are lots of things they could have done with unlimited time and budget but having very little time and being rushed to finish it you dont have time for everything. the game as-is has many many issues they didnt have time to address so its not that the devs didnt or couldnt do this or that its just they tried to do the best they could with the limited time and resources given to them.
maybe a modder will find a way to make ships fire torpedos but even if they do im not sure if it would be available thru mission editor, it most likely might be one or two specially added ships with that feature
modding the game is easy but some things are very very hard or not even possible to mod
