Favorite Weapons Poll

[Fyron]

Time for another poll! You get to choose 2-4 weapons from each Category. Please post your reasons why after making your selections!

Whew! I am feeling kinda dizzy after making that poll, with all the scrolling up and down and up and down and the white and brown bars...

Don't really know about early/ mid/ late distinctions, but I would have to say I like the following best:

meson bLaster: Small enough to fill gaps in ship design, cheap to research, high damage/kt score.

ripper beam: (On those rare occasions I can find a way to get into range=-) Greatly scorned, but it does have the highest damage/ kt out there.

null space: Big, Green, elmulsification machine. Just love that shield-skippin', armour-piercin' soup-maker. The slow reload is a problem, but pack some backup weaponry and hope you take out the shield generators on the first hit.

I like APBs and Tachyon Cannons for the most part, but I would like torpedoes more if they weren't so underpowered!

Early -
1) DUC
- Cheap to upgrade
- Nice dmg/shot/kt for the early game
2) Ionic Disperser -
- Cheap to upgrade
- Useful pre-requisite - Propulsion IV
- Usable in the late game
- Decent d/s/k
- Can really punish players that rely heavily on armor for defense, and fail to use supply storage.
- Capable of slowing down an enemy fleet, possibly forcing the fleet to turn around and resupply.

Mid -
1) PPB
- Cheap to research
- Useful pre-req
- Great d/s/k
2) Shield Depleters
- Cheap to research
- Useful pre-reqs
- Great d/s/k vs shields
- Nice range
- Useful in the late game when ships rely heavily on shields for defense.
- Works well with ionic dispersers

Late -
1) APB
- Great range
- Great d/s/k
2) Null-space
- Great for ripping through heavily defended ships
- Useful pre-reqs

Overall -
1) Shield Depleters
2) APB

I like the graviton hellbore and the massive shield depleter. I like to equip a dreadnaught with both of those. I also like to use torpedos for the ranged attack. By themselves they're weak, but it's good to have a couple of torpedo ships in a fleet.
