torpedoes fucking suck currently since even capital ships can flare off crossection torps with a few flares and they have hundreds of flares and you can no longer dumbfire them into close range targets, not to mention the PDC's will get them unless you're firing at the angle closest to their reduced coverage zones to minimize the amount and time that PDC's have to engage. Turrets are also still extremely ineffective versus fighters due to how flight combat mechanics interact.
In theory though yes, Retaliator stocks are through the roof since you have 10x S3 turrets with 500% larger capacitors and auto-aim gimbals that should easily annihilate any spacecraft that deploys from the hangar and 6x size 9 torpedoes which can easily destroy a polaris if you put 2 or 3 into the same ship section or outright cripple with a single torpedo if you tag the reactor or shield generator. Same with the idris where a single well placed torpedo can knock out core internal components or alternatively you can just sling 6 at it and force it to disengage because you've knocked out half of its offensive weapon systems with splash damage and dealt significant hull damage. None of this occurs in practice though because of how the various combat systems are tuned and interact with each other.
