Default Re: How to fight Organic tech?

I always equip all my attack ships Cruiser size and over with at least 1 Null Space Cannon with the largest mount available. Yes, you have to get a little closer, but a few volleys of NSC's and the guts of his ships will be emptied quite quickly. Yes, I do understand about the reload times, yet it does bypass ALL shields and ARMOR. Once the enemy has lost a few vital components; ie. weapons, combat sensors, engines, etc. then all the organic armor in the world won't be a whole lot of help.....

Of course, as suggested, bulk up on shields and get the advanced armors for the defensive modifiers....

Also note that when you're designing a ship, the Weapons Report can be set to different mount sizes, as well.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
