Have any of you found an effective way to use them?

Well, I have moded RPBs slightly so now they have 5 range. The other characteristics are:
- 20 KT size (like meson bLaster)
- 50 Damage at all ranges (more then DUC)
- 1 turn reload rate (fast firing weapon)
I did find it very useful. Actually I was thinking of giving Reapers, Incinerators and WMGs a different weapon family number so that I don't have to search for Reapers and Incinerators in the design screen when I get to WMGs. The only trouble is that I would have to change design files for AI as well.
