Default Re: Are some techs/wepons useless?

Well, if i'm not mistaken, some weapons are specialty weapons that are best in some situations, and only average in all other situations. For example, if you are up against an Organics enemy, Shard Cannons are best (they skip armor, which organics use extensively). And in a reversal, there are weapons (phased energy weap, i think) that skip over shields if your up against a shield dependant player.

On the other hand, I have yet to hear ANYONE say "I just LOVE my Meson BLaster!!". So there probably are some weaps out there that, shall we say, got the short end of the play balance stick.

Of course, I've never made it to 200 turns yet, so what do I know? (I told you that i dont have much free time!)
