Best Boron weapons & Turrets?
So I'm currently doing a boron only playthrough where I use only boron ships and stations ect...

I was wondering what are the best turrets for each turret and weapon size?

S turret = ?
M Turret = ?
L Turrey = ?

Also for ships what are some of the best main weapons for fighters Medium and large ships? Thanks.

I'm currently using the Boron M Hydra with Iron pulse turrets M and they seem... Well... meh... I guess just unimpressive.

What kind of turrets do you use for anti fighters on the boron?

Sadly there are no S sized turrets - but I just love the Boron gatling gun for S ships (sadly there are no bigger variants - just imagine having that as L turret ... :lunar2019shockedpig: )

M: ion pulse - awesome range, deadly accuracy or in other words: fighters hate them.

L: depends - more versatile is the phase turret. But I usually have ion flak turrets and an ion net launcher on my Ray destroyers. Sadly the number of L turret slots on boron ships is very low.

The Hydra should use the pulse railgun in their main slots. It's just awesome against S and M ships - and very deadly against surface elements, too. That way the turrets on the Hydra don't matter (I use ion pulse there as well).

Best boron platform against fighters is IMHO the Guppy. Again, fill all slots with ion pulse turrets and add 8 Makos - you can even down a K with that. (if you let the Makos disarm the K).

An old topic, but i will add some.

Ray with Ion Pulse\Ion Flak works better, it has better maneurability.
And you just immobilize those Ks with main gun then shoot his big turrets.
And you don't need to manage fighters.

I've tried Guppy a hour ago and it's really "meh" compared to Ray.

TBH i think Ray is the best SOLO anti-Xenon destroyer.
