Default Re: How best to use Null Space weapons?

For late game probably the most potent general purpose weapon strategy is shield depleters and anti-proton beams. For mid game you want phased polaron beams. Early game is the DUC.

This is assuming no access to specialty weapons from another racial trait and an unmodded game.

Other weapons such as the null space or the wave motion have their uses in specialty fields such as breaching heavily armored and shielded ships/bases for the null space or taking something out at long range in the first volley with better than normal to hit chances for the wave motion.

The only other basic weapons I use are the ripper beam with tractors and repulsors in combination and the meson.

Most of the time though I take a racial trait that offers some weapons of its own. Then I use those.
