Except that in Proportions, you can get pretty good defense without even using shields, if you want to, making shield depleters useless. Meson bLasters can also be out-ranged by several weapons, and since in Proportions small ships are useful, normal-mounted (or smaller) meson bLasters don't do a lot of damage per hit, so they suffer proportinally more from all the armor types with emissive abilities.

I like to think all the weapons in Proportions are worthwhile, but let me know if you think there are some lamers.

As for Quantum Torpedoes in the unmodded game, Taera, some things they can't kill are drones, fighters, and satellites, since the cannot target them.

Another thing you can try with slow rate-of-fire weapons is to run away while reloading, making return fire less likely to hurt (and sometimes impossible) - this can tip the damage exchange further in your favor than the rate-of-fire would imply.
