What is the weapon of your choice, and Why?

[Atrocities]

I looked at torps earlier, and concluded that the only reason why you would want to use torps would be for the negligible cost decrease.

We have discussed this before.

Torps are a great tool when coupled with the strategy Maximum Weapons range.

In one game a player used APB's and Torps as primary weapons in a small fleet of about 30 BC and wiped the board against a fleet of superior BS + DN with PPB's because his ships had the range to fire. They fired first and the rest is history.

(Coupled with 115% Agg/Def with 10% fleet and Ship training with the EMC - Scattering Armor - Combat sensors - and such.

Both fleets were evenly matched in all regards except one used PPB's Optimal range with more ships, the other APB's and Torps at Max range.

Simulation after simulation showed the PPB fleet obliterating the APB/Torp fleet but when actual combat occured, it was the APB/Torp fleet that won.

Tnarg, CNC, were in on the game as well. I honestly don't recall the other three players. Was a brillent game though. One of the Star Trek ones.
