How do I use proton torpedoes?

Question

I just bought proton torpedoes since I got to level 50, but I don't know how to use them. They're not in the hotkey-bar in space combat and I can't find anything in the keybindings section of the options.

How do I use them?

Answer

From http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=1200623:

To fire a proton torpedo, position your cursor over the target and hold down the right mouse button until it establishes a lock. Your cursor must remain over the target the entire time. Once it's locked on, release the right mouse button to fire the proton torpedo.

This is different from regular missiles where you can just single click or drag over top without remaining over the target.
