I use only DUC's as they are the besta weapon in the whole gosh darn game. Golly Gee.

Trop's, And APB's for me.

Yes, fleet stacking is the obvious reason why to choose APB's...

I actually am more interested in finding out what situations certain weapons would be useful in. Like, when would it be preferable to research a Meson BLaster rather than Anti-Proton Beam?

I looked at torps earlier, and concluded that the only reason why you would want to use torps would be for the negligible cost decrease.

Share your secrets gentlemen. I am especially interested in knowing combinations of weapons people use on ship designs.

For example, to me, missiles seem useless. Two point-defense cannons on every ship gets rid of the missile problem... or does it? How much dmg resistance are the higher level missiles, and would it be enough to overcome the one to two PD's most people put on their ships? Colonel, if you could post a couple useful missile ship designs (light cruiser and battlecruiser preferably)... thx.

Brian
