Beginners Guide, HELP!!! (Please Read And Post)

[cataclysm]

I just started to play Gold

I want to know, why do my anti-proton beams do 25 damage while the ones AIs have do 75? They are both at level IV

difficulty is medium and handicap is none in my game.

The AIs are probably using weapons mounts- these are for Light Cruiser class ships and above. Click the "weapon enchancement" button in the ship design screen to see mount options.

Mounts.

In the Ship creation window, you will see a little button at the Top right corner that says Weap Mounts.

Depending on the Mount: Large, Heavy, Massive,

The damage and the range of the weapon will vary.

Ship clases from Light cruiser and up and All Stations can use the mounts but Heavy mounts up from 800Kt, and Massive, 1100Kt.
