The Hargh'Peng is great on ships where you just don't have the space for Torpedo Spread. Since on most escorts you are usually pretty OK for Tac space, I'd recommend something you can buff with a skill.

Hopefully this weekend I'll get the time to sit down and pound out a good 'Just hit 50' build for Cruisers, Escorts and Sci boats. The Hargh'peng will feature on the cruiser build.
