It is expensive alright but if you have a good resource base and can aford a couple of these on LCs or so the game will get much more interesting. Remember that the smallest components usualy get hurt, meaning that the weapon takes out PDCs quite easy because they got no mounts to defend themselves.

Theoretically this weapon can be considered a counter to most other weapons because it simply disables them. If only it had slightly better damage it would be one of my Favorites. Untill then, i'll stick with energy dampener.

EDIT: Forgot to add that once i researched this weapon rather easy as a cheap research and put a couple to support my missile fleet. Given i had a few shield depleters the results were amazing. Later on i used SD/APB/TAC weapon combo with maximum range. Whenever the enemy came too close he could no longer fire This weapon is useful, especialy given the surprise element
Yes. Have you tried mounting a single tachyon weapon before normal-damage weapons? I think that then the tachyon hit will hit a weapon, and the regular-damage weapons will then hit that weapon too, until it is destroyed.
