What Guns do you use/combine?

[Raiiick]

Hey guys I just wanted to know what kind of weapons you use and combine ;)

I personally really like the railguns but they are kinda bad against shields so I try to combine them with plasma guns :D

[Bugs Bunny]

I'm a fan of lasers because they combine high DPS and constant damage without overheating. I had 20 of them custom made that each do 1500 dps and drain very little power and they are serving me well.

I could mix a bit of anti-shield and anti-hull weapons in the mix but I find that using top of the line salvagers on hull is more versatile and shields well... I have yet to find a ship that withstands my 20 lasers long enough to warrant a change. The only annoying nuts to crack in that regard are dreadnought level ships but they do ♥♥♥♥ for dmg so...

I use the chainguns with damage to +%shields.. I rip shields in 10 sec tops.
And with a personal shield that have nearly +300k hp and fast regen, I can sit and watch the whole world burn :) I use Xanion(Or whatever it's called)
I fly around the Galaxy center ring, can't enter yet.. but I collect tons of materials with the salvaging lasers after the enemy is dead.

Why wait until it's dead? Salvagers are brutal against unshielded targets. Since it's easier to find +unarmed upgrades, you could 5-6 good anti-shield guns and use 30 salvagers to rip ships in two.

Im not that far in to be able to have many turrets, but I have noticed the destructive power of the salvaging lasers. I use a really powerful one I found for quick dispatch of ships, and use it to help cut those long spinning spear ships in half to reduce how much they actually spin, making them easier targets.

I take whatever looks like it has high overal DPS. lighnting, rockets, salvage...it's all much the same (Though I do have a slight preference for things with at least 2 range, since getting up close and personal can be dangerous, and you have to treat rockets like they're short-range because they're so slow)

I generally use highest DPS though I'm liking the rail guns. Great damage and nearly instantaneous as well.

Depends on what the most broken thing a turret factory will spit out. I'm currently using 24 lightning turrets that do 5.8k damage per shot and are independent. ~60k omicron because of the slow fire rate.

I was going to divide those turrets into 3 ships but the sight of a tiny corvette murdering groups of ships four times its size is just hilarious.

Indeed xD

I currently use heatseeking Rocket Towers. 180k omicron. I just have to press R + a few times left click (+repeat point 1 and 2) to wipe out a fleet. I dont have to aim or look at them. The shots are homing missiles.

Good lord crafted turrets are OP. I haven't crafted anything yet. Seems like alot of work ferrying parts.

so each turret factory is different in the stats and number of materials required then???

Currently using rail/cannon cause I haven't yet found 16 of the same. Kinda tedious flying around trying to find them at equipment docks. Based on the comments above sounds like my time would be better sent farming/buying mats for crafted turrets.

Yeah crafted turrets can get pretty damn ridiculous... Just shop for them though, most turret factories have pretty bad setups, you have to look to find something crazy. The closer to the center you are the better the turrets too.

Getting the mats is a PITA, but it's totally worth it.

Also been using salvage beams plus lasers. Seems like a nice combo, you can focus them on a single spot and easily take out important sub-systems, turn the ship into a useless chunk of metal long before it runs out of hull health.

[i lost my boots]

i love spaceships... but everyone know that anything is better with lasers. i have 12 turrets totalizing 28k damage with room for more 5

I did that in the start of the game.
But I am lazy, so i let the autoattack handle my dps :) + I found a sweet Chaingun that starts attacking at 11.x km :)
