I use DUCs first and then switch to PPB. I'll add shield depleters when phased shields appear.

Usually by then the game is pretty much decided. I am either losing and can't afford to change, or I'm winning and don't need to change much. So I might not get the chance to research the APBs.

The PPB is an expensive weapon. So for units like SATs I might use smaller and cheaper Meson BLasters and Ripper Beams. A large SAT mount adds 4 range. A medium SAT can hold large mount Shield depleters, Ripper Beams, and armor. Quite a bit of bang for the Buck.

The PPB is so damn expensive and the higher level ones don't do much more damage. I will sometimes use the lower levels. Especiaaly for build time critical Weapon plateforms.

I guess the Tachyon cannon is the worst.
