Default Re: Weapon Platforms

Armor regeneration doesn't work on units as they don't take partial damage. A WP is either working or destroyed. If you use armor, choose the one with the best resistance-per-kT ratio.

I'd suggest placing one or two WMGs on your WPs - non-mounted - so that you're able to get the first shot. As for the rest, I prefer ripper beams, as they are small and very strong. PD is best used on stats IMO.

Alternatively, if you're using a mod where the PD is toned down, or where you have strong seekers with high seeker dmg resistance available, you should place some PD on your WPs as well, and/or those super-strong missiles. The extra PD will provide you with a defense against the strong seekers, while the ones you use can be used to kill off enemies at long range. Take, for instance, Capship Cruise Missiles (as I don't know any other modded seeker with high resistance) which is strong on the attack, has a very long range, and has 100kT damage resistance, so that you'll need at the very least two shots to destroy it.
