Some weapons to look into:
APBs:
- Excellent range (7)
- Max-Tech: 2.1 DamageFactor at point blank, fading to 1.5 at max range
- Requires physics 1, then energy stream weapons
Wave-Motion Gun:
- Best Range (8)
- Big initial punch, but long reload time.
- Poor Damage (0.67) amortized over the reload time.
- +30% accuracy bonus
- Requires propulsion 7?, then high energy discharge level 8.
Phased Polaron Beam:
- Good range (6)
- Excellent Damage (2.0) at point blank, (1.67) at range 6
- Skips normal shields (!)
- Requires Physics 2, then phased energy weapons.
Null Space Projector:
- Moderate Range (5)
- Poor damage (0.4) (reload time of 3)
- Completely ignores all shields and armor (!)
