So... does that mean I should rethink my plan to build a pair of Schismatics?
Between the Schismatic and the Pagan, I'd actually expected the Pagan to make it in from Book of Nemesis, and the Schismatic to have been kept out. I guess it's mildly more acceptable for chaos to have a str 4 L/F/R torpedo salvo than a 6 hit carrier with 2 launch bays. Not too much of an issue anyhow; my fleet's big enough I can reserve in a Defiant if I really want one!
Edit: On reflection, and with less snarking, I realize that a 6-hit, 1 shield light cruiser is significantly less threatening and easier to destroy than an 8-hit, 2 shield heavy cruiser, and therefore lower-strength, funky torpedo launchers are probably less of a concern rules-wise since, if nothing else, it's easier to neutralize and she carries much less firepower (a full cruiser broadside + 6 torps being a lot nastier than 2 lances + 4 torps too).
