How to have torpedo spread weapon, now!

OK, haven't tried it yet, but I think that if you were to take a normal torpedo weapon and ascribe toggle-weapon behavior to it, and also make it drain special weapons energy ( maybe 250 for a ship with 1000 special energy) and set the fire rate to a higher frequency, you could create the effect of a torpedo spread (or torpedo burst, or whatever you want to call it). This may have been proposed by others someplace, but it seems like I see people ask about this a lot and many people are simply waiting for FT to come out to enjoy this weapon, but FT has enough other things to be excited about that you shouldn't need to wait for torpedo spreads, I would think. Hope this helps someone at some point.

My bad, somehow I managed to completely overlook that the Quantum Torpedo Burst subject was resurrected right before I posted this, and that that one produced a certain solution. Apologies for wasting peoples' time with an unneeded post.
