What are peoples views on Null Space Projectors? Do people consider them to be a good weapon for the AI. (Most of my AI's ultimately end up researching and using High Energy Discharge Weapons).
My traditional 'fleet doctrine' is to have one 'heavy' weapon (slow firing and high damage or special ability) on every capital ship to compliment the main armament of standard A-P/Meson type weapons. You never know when a single high-damage hit might make a big difference in combat. The Null-space Projector is very special in that it starts to damage your enemy immediately and so gives full advantage for whatever shields and/or armor that your own ships have. The slow fire rate makes it hard to rely on as a main weapon, of course, but as a supplemental weapon it's very worthwhile.
