I like DUC V early in the game. However, I will use CSMs or organic Parasites if my opponent does not have adequate point defenses on his ships. DUCs V will server you quite well until you get PPBs or Null Space weapons. Null Space are costly in Min & Rad, so they will build slower, but a must if you face Organic and Crystalline armor. Might be more important if players use the improved Emissive armor more. If you opponent uses Shields, PPBs are the good replacement for DUCs. A couple of the Organic weapons have a nice Damage/KT ratio as well. I have never cared much for the Graviton Hellbore weapon because at long range they do so poorly, but max level at 225K research, might make this a good weapon against emissive armor, if you can close to Point Blank: 145 Damage - 30 Emissive is nice compared to PPB (60 - 30). Quantum Torps look nice against emissive. Late in the game, you will want WMGs against emissive armor. I really like the improvement of Emissive armor as Dam/KT is not as import as Dam/Hit is now a consideration to be balanced against it.
