Your Favorite/worse weapon poll

[Spoo]

(Current) Most Favorite: WMG - nothing like watching enemy ships explode after one hit.

Least Favorite: the engine-killing seeker. Seems pointless when compared to the direct fire Version.

[Suicide Junkie]

Hmmm... I may have to change my favorite.

Planetoid Core mount Planetary Napalm (P&N):
Dropping Battleship sized (800kt) bombs for 25,000 damage!

[Raging Deadstar]

Favourite: Shard Cannons, combined with the high energy magnifier. Take out the shields and watch as the components are destroyed, love that armor skipping ability.

Least: Ripper Beam, or WMG. The gravitational hell born beats it hands down

[Urendi Maleldil]

1. Subverter. Yay! free ships.

2. tachyon beam. Range is way too short and they don't do enough damage to weapons to make them as useful as the engine-damaging ion beam.

[Ragnarok]

1a. WMG, love the high damage. Don't like the reload time (3).
1b. Telekenetic(sp) Projector(sp) awesome weapon with only a 1 for reload time.
1c. My stratagy, nothing like kicking butt with my play style.

2. Ripper Beam, never have liked them.

[TerranC]

Favorite: Wave Motion Gun. It's long, It's Direct Fire, It damages well. It's reload time is a bit dislikable, but attach it with 2 PPB or APBs.

Also, it reminds me of the Massive Beam cannons in Freespace and Freespace 2.

Least: Tachyon Gun. I thought it was the weapon of the future when I first got this game.

Then I found it doesn't do anything...

[Tenryu]

I like DUC and PPB, least liked ... hmmm .. I agree ripper beams were pretty bad. I modded them as attached. I didn't think they rotted so bad after. I haven't really played at all or reviewed the mounts since the recent patch. Prolly screwed alot up. Oh well, for what it's worth some of you might find these interesting. I kinda looked at them as the ultimate space melee weapons. If you have the balls, armor, and ability to get in close and start hammering, well, you'll hammer.
