Default Re: PPB is the best weapon in the game. Discuss.

IMO, it is more important to fire first than what weapons you have.... Things being relatively equivalent (ship size, tech levels - not necessarily weapon types), the empire firing first usually will win (unless of course the ship was poorly designed). To me, this firing first seems to be a bigger factor in the outcome of strategic combat than the weapon types.

Having said that, I think PPB's are best for early - mid games and WMG's in the mix for later games.
