What do you think is the best weapon at endgame?

[Nyx]

I tend to go for a couple heavy tachyon beams to rip apart enemy guns, and then nullspace weapons to rip apart thier ship. Slow reloads, but I can ignore even phased shields AND armor. The reduced damage and range is worth it, because late game I tend to have ships moving 6 in combat and I can get in close as needed, and I only need to get in once before he's unable to fire back with any significant effect.

I prefer to fight by blowing up stars and ripping planets into asteroids. I don't believe in allowing the enemy to reclaim territory and in the late game I get no advantage from taking his turf.

Well this new game I had researched all the technology, All the other races had pretty much advanced too so I have new Favorites... The Energy dampner combined with time distortion bursts and shard cannons. It stops them from firing, then takes out their shields to let the shard cannons go through their armor. I had these on my dreadnaughts. On my base ships I had 3 Massive projection cannons, 4 large nullspace projectors, and 5 ionic pulse missiles, it pretty much stopped them if they stayed too far, or disabled them if they get too close, either way it was nasty. Plus I had 2 fighter bays with heavy fighters with small time distortion burst weapons. I could usually take out the enemy organic tech race one base ship against 3 of their dreadnaughts with full technology. I also had a battleship with 4 time distortion bursts, 1 shield accelerator that ate through their shields fast then took them over with boarding parties. It was highly effective against their dreadnaughts as I captured a bunch of their ships for my forces. Looks like alot of different end game strategies there to be had with a bit of imagination.
