Thanks for the advice, I needed it too. By the time I get my defense bases built everybody will have phased shields anyway, and I was wondering what to use. I checked the damage per point of maintenance cost. Rippers are the cheapest regular weapon by far. I will mix in a few null space projectors though, in case somebody with lots of armor comes along. What I will do is convert my small yard bases to defense bases with repair bays after they have built the big bases. Rippers fit into the small bases just fine.
