4200 Damage out to range 8!

Now for something that's actually useful, and possible in stock, try Massive Base Mount Ripper Beam IV's. 350 damage every turn out to range 9 that can target ships, all fit into a package two thirds the size of a similarly mounted APB or PPB and considerably less expensive.

Holy Cow.

If you're using P&N, just use a planetary core mounted wave motion gun. Gets a range of about 14 or so, and does about 11k damage.

And then there's the Unique Massive Shield Depleter and Massive Ionic Disperser. They can have mounts too, and the damage gets to insane levels. Too bad they're only once-per-combat, and nothing will ever have that many shields and/or engines. Well, it's possible with stock to have that many shields, I think... I think it's a Starbase with MC and all shield components. So, a rather useless base unless it's used to draw fire from dumb strategic combat AI.
