Actually, I'm pretty sure most do. However, you have to be level 10 to buy the earliest torpedo launcher I've found (the Starkiller). If you're not level 10 yet, you can still see if the dealer has them in stock by scrolling down to the greyed-out weapons that are too high for your level.
Torpedos make station assaults much easier (weapon platforms aren't quite sturdy enough to warrant a torpedo, IMO), and do wonders against battlecruisers (which are so slow they may as well be stations). Since the only other weapon that can go into a torpedo hardpoint is a cruise disruptor (which I have yet to find a good use for), there's no reason not to mount a torpedo launcher if your ship can, IMO.

They get cooler than that. Just wait until you go to Sprague... :ph34r:
