I agree with those who suggest that the problem isnt necessarily PPB's but the fact that there are no better weapons further up the tech tree. WMG's rate of fire is too slow for it to be an automatic replacement for PPB's.

What we need are additional weapons (like in MOO2) such as disruptors, phasors, Gauss Cannons, Neutron BLasters, Stellar Converters, Plasma Bolts, etc.....

Sounds like a few of us need to come up with some additional components!

I agree completely. Once you research the PPB, you might as well stop researching other ship-to-ship weapons. There just isn't anything else down the line that is going to compare.

I would really enjoy seeing someone design a truly long ranged weapon early in the tech tree that doesn't have much punch. Then, create another weapon family in the middle of the tree that ramps up the damage. Then, at the end of the tech tree let the weapon do WMG damage with a 1 ROF.
