Wave motion gun, for the sheer unholy destructive power of it. Screw damage/tk ratios, I want unholy destructive power!!!

Amen, Brother! No Evil Overlord should be without one.

Absolutely, there is nothing better to drain the shields on an overshielded dreadnought. It just needs some backup weapons to be truly effective.

I just love the sound, the beam animation, the knowledge that hundreds of poinst o damage have been dealt...

Early Game:
PPB: It skips their sheilds (since phased sheilds are mid/late game) does reasonable damage and reasonable range
Fighters: Powerfull but defeated by PD, use it while you still can

Mid Game:
PPB: It still is pretty good but some ppl may have phased by this point
RipperBeam: It's allways fun to have
SheildDisrupter: Expensive in the research, but devastating to sheilders in close combat

Late Game:
RipperBeam: It never stops killin!
SheildDisrupter: A must have against the late game heavy sheilders
Whatever I feel like at the moment: Why not?

When not playing racial techs (i dont usually) i always research Mil.Sci and Phys both to level one, and then research the weapons they offer me - APB/Torpedoe combo. Tell me that torpedoes are underpowered, once you got it going (sooner or later you'll hit the level 6 and higher) it becomes a deadly weapon. In mid-game i usually stick to same tactics but begin to vary - i use seekers (swarm!) and begin the use of tachyon cannon (thats one wonder weapon). As things get good i do a astrophysics research and go into gravity weapons. Absolutely love them, when worked out good and paired with torpedoes (set to max range) or SD's (set to short-range) its a killer.

Tractor and repulsers are _the_ weapons, as i would call them. Not doing any damage they can realy swing the combat balance, along with enemy ships. Just keep the kT equal or greater than that of your enemies (or make war carriers) and see them flyyyyyyyyy..... defensive weapon, too.
