athios, I play on Insane and impossible difficulties. Still, as far as I am concerned, I had to buy torps only once (except for when I am alien hunter, since alien ships mostly have no torps at all).
I have managed to get my longest living captain to lv 80, then I just bought an alien hunter ship and 50 arties, which resulted in an instant alien encounter in the place with the rumor... An encounter that kind of killed me.
I have wanted to try to have a run without tactics, but usually I have them at least on 30 to efficiently perform surveillance and gain xp easily. Having more stealth allows you to take on higher level enemies...
Well, maybe the problem with your run is, you don't blast everything that moves. I attack all ships, allied or not, knowing that surveillance in spy wars will recover the reputation I lose crushing enemy ships.
Also,if you have problems with torpedo rearm rolls, I would suggest raising your tactics. I will try to create a captain with 25-30 tactics and the rest would be stealth. Perhaps it helps too

I will be one of those dirty pirates that just ram you to death when they are losing. It would be helpful to add xp to strength to have some boarding resistance...
