You're better off using Tachyon Projection Cannons:[*]They are the same size and cost less.[*]They have better damage at range.[*]They have better damage/turn at range.[*]They do a better job of disabling enemy ships. Shield Disruptors kill shields and leave the weapon killing to you; TPCs kill weapons, and weaponless shielded ships aren't worth their maintenance.

Yes, reload is 4 for TPCs and 3 for SD's; but IMHO, the benefits of TPCs far outweigh that.

[edit] Not to mention that Shield Depleters are at least as effective as Shield Disruptors at taking shields out of the way.
