TerranC, a massive shot or two can prolly gut not a LC but a battle-ship once the shields are down. And one or two massive SD's would do the job. Also GH's cooldown is only two, as much as torpedoes' is.

Fyron: lets not get into this again. its rock-paper-scissors and all works.

"Even in the warp point range has meaning, though less than normally. I would suggest strong weapons with low range for use in warp point, like ripper beam."

Careful with this. If a large enough defending fleet and attacking fleet fight, you may find that some of the attackers are out of range when they warp in.

Ripper beams are powerful, but only if you can close the range.

So, you still gain nothing when using GHBs over APBs.

Re: Anti-Matter Torpedo
 

fyron, if a ship has a lot of cannons it will skip about 6 and then fire at next target. tested.
