if you ask me: its 2:2 until now, but both of you should try to stick to the assumptions made in the beginning and not bring in possible additional weapons or other components in order to strenghten your arguments. (as both of you did)

Well since Shield Depleters make up half of the APB strategy...  Generally, people go DUC > PPB > SD + APB. The PPB devastes ships with standard shields, and the SD can devastate ships with any shielding (phased included). IDs are just icing on the cake. Of course, Torpedo ships can benefit from SD and ID too.
Oh, and another point... multiplex tracking helps APB ships more than Torpedo ships. The higher damage per shot from the Torpedos can lead to more damage getting wasted in the Last shot that destroys a ship from the Torpedo than you lose from the APB. |
