Default Re: Underappreciated Weapons

I think the electron discharge should go here. its sort of poopey as a ship weapon, but it is one of the most efficient fighter / troop weapons in the game. I think the APB is a under-rated weapon. in the end-game, it is a better weapon than the PPB since everyone should have phased shields anyhow.

also, smartbombs are great. you can often disable the entire resource production of a system by taking out a spaceport. you can shutdown production by taking out a shipyard, then muster forces for invasion. unless you are the Nausea Heap, in which case you would have a tendency to reduce your ground combat effectiveness to nothing in favor of techno-industrial superiority (and i dont mean music)
