removing long list of specific ship-to-ship tactics

 ==Tactical Overview==
 The most popular tactic employed with this ship against the AI is to "cast a net" with the afterburners such that the enemy ship flies into it and takes damage. Against large capital ships, this is no problem, but against more maneuverable ships, luring them near a gravity well might be required first.

	A [[Yehat]] [[Terminator]] can eliminate any number of Torches, if flown by a skilled player (usually by orbiting a gravity well — or "pillboxing" against the AI), but a Torch can also easily take out a Terminator. What matters here is how well the Terminator pilot uses its force shield.

What matters here is how well the Terminator pilot uses its force shield.

			An AI-controlled Avatar will attempt to close to laser range by using its tractor beam while flying towards the enemy ship. The Torch can exploit this; its afterburner is capable of easily breaking the tractor beam's grip, and the Avatar will continue flying towards the Torch if its range is reasonable, causing it to collide with the afterburner's trail. Doing this repeatedly allows the Torch to take out an Avatar with next to no damage.

	The Reeunk Afterburner is a relatively recent addition to the Torch.

Once they became [[Battle Thrall]]s, the Thraddash were ordered to "guard the rear" by staying in their home territory. Now that their ships have been improved, the Thraddash would love nothing more than to try them out against another race and thus prove their worth to the Ur-Quan.
