For me, it's always been the Fusionfire Howizter, it never needs ammo, is almost as powerful as a Qianlong Archcannon, has a giant bullet, and most of all it NEVER EVER comes back to hit you in the face (looks furiously at XM900 Lucifers). It's a bit slow though... (Only because I got one Pre-St. K...

The best way to farm them is using a wingman given Break and attack instructions who will snipe their drones, while you loot and destroy the wrecks. Very efficient form of genocide. Ignore this terrible advice. As I just experienced, the wingmen can and will shoot the base accidently eventually, bu...

Ferrians crack me up, you can wail on them all day and they'll ignore you until a stray blast hits their base.

Hopefully the AI for the Dwarg is improved at some point. I'd like to see them simply become wingmen, so the player can boss them around that way.

Weakest: Anarchists. I never have any trouble with them, I don't think they've ever killed my ship. Dumbest: Dwarg Preposterous behaviour really. Daft enough to ally with me after I butcher their friends and family, and then foolish enough to assist me by sitting directly in front of me, thus gettin...

Forgettable Beginner Weapons Discussion

I looted a +30% Centauri recoilless from a Warlords camp, and thought to try it out. Awful, truely awful. The range was short and the fire rate was slooooow. It might have been a bit more punchy with an accelerator, but we'll never know... Himal destroyed my ship while I was trying to get close enou...

You omni-lovers will out-grow omni-weapons eventually. Let me try to convince you. Get a Shtorm repeater , find I can usually get one early in the game. Enhance it with the ROM This weapon is better than an unmodified Hanzo (which won't do you much good against dwarg anyway), I kid you not. It will ...

The local news about the LHC was extremely disappointing.

I agree, can't wait til the big experiments happen.

I thought shurkien projectiles were 2d5 damage while particle beam was 2d4 damage... I might be wrong though... :? Shuriken sounds like a continuous lightning turret when used with a weapon enhance rom :lol: It's actually more effective with +fast vs. sung fortresses if you stop and slowly drift to...

Although the fast-fire laser looks pretty with its 10 shots/second, you'll hurt enemies more with a dual-laser cannon, which fires 6x2 shots/second.

Same goes for a dual particle beam weapon, which is better than the shuriken.
