Plasma Cannon vs Matter Disintegrator.

[Jerek Adams]

Thoughts?

I find that plasma works better. Especially when tied in with disruptors.

plasma is better against high armor, which tends to be an issue late in the game (defeating fallen empires mostly). guess disintegrators aren't too bad, but they aren't really specialized and so aren't particularly good at anything.

Ya I noticed more success withthe plasma in pretty much all stages. The disintigrator kind banks damage in a way until you get the shields down but you lose 50% to the shield and then another 50% of the armor value in damage and find the effect leaves much to be desired.

The plasma looks better too.

well they maybe good for medium slots as destroyers dont have much armor to begin with.

Ya but plasma is a tad bit more accurate too although the MD's hit harder.

I find putting kinetic and e-Torps with the Plasma makes a very potent combo. On various platforms of course.

They are very good in small slots for killing corvettes and destroyers. In medium slots they are good for destroying destroyers and cruisers.

I wouldn't put them in large slots though because they kind of suck at killing high armor battleships.

Either way they are always better than lasers.
