Rock, paper, scissors.
The search for an "uber-weapon" is snipe hunt. Every weapon has it's advantages and disadvantages. A ship design that will kick butt against one type, will fail miserably against another.
No weapon or strategy is perfect for every possible situation. You must be able to adapt, and improvise to be succecsful all the time. And even then, you can't all the time. Because there is always someone out there that can adapt a little better, and improvise a little faster than you can.
If there was truly only one answer to the question, then people wouldn't still be playing this game a year and a half later.
