Default Re: What is the weapon of your choice, and Why?

Well, in the early part of most games, I go for DUC 5's. On a light cruiser, along with a PD cannon or two, this is very effective until higher level weapons and shielding come into play.

For mid-game situations, I like the Phased Polaron Beam, with again, a couple of PD cannons. By this time (by the time I have cruisers or battlecruisers) I like to have level 3 combat sensors and ECM on my ships, also armor to provide the extra defense bonus. Shiels are still usually Shields 5 (not phased).

By the time I have a lot of the tech researched, I usually stick a couple PD cannons, 2 shield depleters, and fill the rest up with Anti-Proton Beam XII's. This combination works wonders for me, and usually is a match for the best ship designs.
