Exactly right...the DUC is better, until the other weapons go up in level. Then they're better.  The challenge is, researching fast enough and switching over your fleet at just the right time.
The simplified progression goes like this.
DUC for early game.
PPB for midgame (it is beeter than DUC, and penetrates unphased shields).
SD + APB for late game.
Throw in some CSM and WMG for variety. |
