If this has been done before, I apoligizea, however, I thought it would be interesting to see what each member of the forum likes/dislikes as far as SE4 weapons. This also includes se4 mods. Please list your favorite weapon and the weapon you feel is the most useless in SE4 and SE4 mods. If weapon/s if from a mod, pls stipulate which one.

1. Your favorite weapon and why
2. Most useless weapon and why

just some ideas mac

Favorite Weapon: My Mind

Arkcon · #3 October 9th, 2002, 05:09 PM

Favorite Weapon: Seeker Parasite. I love the sound they make. Other races fire missiles from their ships, organic races give birth to their weapon -- and they're born angry.

Least Favorite: DUC. Yes, I know they're better than other weapons early on, yes, yes, yes more damage for less research, better start early on, more advantage, blah , blah, blah. Hey, I just think they're dull.

Seriously, I usually play on medium tech just so my sci fi space ships in my sci fi game can have sci fi weapons.

1a) Helix Cannon (P&N/Imagemod) for the animation.
1b) Organic Armor for smashing great fun.
Honorable Mention) The "Sci-Fi Canon"

2) Ripper Beams. (Too short ranged, require high propulsion tech to open, and end up being out-powered by APBs anyways.)

Fave: Boarding parties, (free ships! free tech!) If they don't count as a weapon then Null Space. I just love turning heavily shielded, heavily armoured ships into tins of soup on the first hit=-) With some rapid fire backup weapons, NS rocks=-)

Least liked: Graviton Hellbore. Cool name, but not much good for anything as far as I can tell (except in the Cantina, anyway.)

Most favorite weapon: Phased polaron beam, low research and good punch even late in the game.

Least favorite weapon: Ripper beam, see comment SJ.

(Current) Most Favorite: WMG - nothing like watching enemy ships explode after one hit.

Least Favorite: the engine-killing seeker. Seems pointless when compared to the direct fire Version.

Hmmm... I may have to change my favorite.

Planetoid Core mount Planetary Napalm (P&N):
Dropping Battleship sized (800kt) bombs for 25,000 damage!

Raging Deadstar · #9 October 9th, 2002, 08:12 PM

Favourite: Shard Cannons, combined with the high energy magnifier. Take out the shields and watch as the components are destroyed, love that armor skipping ability.

Least: Ripper Beam, or WMG. The gravitational hell born beats it hands down

1. Subverter. Yay! free ships.

2. tachyon beam. Range is way too short and they don't do enough damage to weapons to make them as useful as the engine-damaging ion beam.
