Re: What is the weapon of your choice, and Why?
Only have played single player games (the qualification) but I have found a mix of weapons works nicely.
Main - APB/Torps
Support - Wave Motion or other Heavy first strike damage
Defense - all Point Defense with 2 Meson BLasters (the program makes you run away if you only mount all point defense weapons - even if the ship's purpose is to destroy seekers and fighters - GRRRRRRR)
A battlefleet has 6-8 main 2-4 support and 2-4 defense. Mains are Dreads and Battleships, supports are battleships and battlecruisers (sometimes dreads) and defense are destroyer and Light Cruiser.
This type of fleet/weapon mix can generally handle Carriers and Dreads with nothing but seekers without a problem. (the AI seems to love those)
I find that if I can hit hard enough on the first salvo (which my heavy hitters being smaller ships will survive to attack) then I dont really need to worry about they fight. Of course this assumes equal tech lvls but the computer has yet to out research me.
