What weapons do you use, and why?

[Spaz]

As i progress through the game its become clear that theres tons of ways to arm your ship. Lately ive mostly just been sorting by highest DPS and slapping those on but have also come to love burst fire turrets.

What about you guys? How do you decide what weapons to use?

Once you find a good turret factory its hard to beat top tier rails or cannons- their range and dmg output is just insane.

Used a mix of looted rail guns, cannons, and plasma turrets - all around 4k range. Found a tech 35 turret factory outside of the center. Been using rail guns on my main ship since - 26 of them along the spine of the ship. When lined up right you can punch a hole straight through an asteroid, all except the biggest.

I found several turret factories but no matter how hard i try, i cant find people selling the parts for them. you guys got any tips?

just keep looking, and the closer to the center the better i found, as i play in early game i buy any parts i see so that by the time i get to the barrier i have most of the components in my industrial ship that follows me

i have lasers for close range and rail guns for long range, i close on the ship, drift past it taking out the shields with my 4k range lasers then after i have drifted past and out of their range i open up with my rail guns and finish them off

Yep, just keep hunting for more turret factories. I took screenshots of the stuff I needed and refer to anytime I find a neutral turret factory - also tend to stick closer to the cetner.

while i was hacking around with the game files i found the lightning guns to be one of the most powerful weapons ...... but during my real game experience rail guns and cannons are usually the ones i stick to......

burst fire turrets are pretty good early game because if yoru lucky you can get some that deal enough damage quick enough to kill the CPU enemies..... but the problem is they are nowhere near as damaging as normal weapons.... these weapons need to kill the target in a shot or 2 otherwise they are just not as effective........ (comparing 2 weapons with equal stats but one had burst fire)

the only problem i come accross with rail guns and cannons is lag......... im not runing a great machine but i notice my computer has a real problem if i fire likw 10 x3 cannons at once at a target.....same with a rail gun..... but when it doesnt lag these weapons just obliterate anything i shoot.

Well I use a chaingun then a burst gun(may be a burst gun it's a gun that just fires forever and very slowly )then a mining laser then onother mining laser then a salvageing turret gun card needed.

Keep in mind buying parts from turret fac's isn't at all ideal, they can have 250% or much higher mark up on part costs. trade hubs are good to hit up if you cant find the dedicated factories for parts, so Sectors with 2 or more Trade hubs are always good to check.

Excuse me, excuse, scusa, excusa, 言い訳, оправдание,
leider kann ich kein englisch :(

ich habe 17 sektoren vom zentrum entfernt eine waffenfabrik der fraktion: 'Aussenposten des Wiederstandes' gefunden, die folgende waffentürme herstellt:

########## werte ################

Raketen-Geschützturm
Tech Aussergewöhnlich 50
Schaden 1117,3 <-------------
Feuerrate 1,3
Genauigkeit 97,8
Reichweite 9,31 <----------------
Material Avorion
Grösse 1
Unabhäniges zielen <-----------
Kanoniere 7

+128% schiessen bis überhitzt
Überhitzt
ZIELSUCHEND <-------------------
Unabhäniges zielen, aber weniger Schaden.

################################

damit hat mein schiff (15 slot's nicht optimiert) eine feuerkraft von 36082 und mein HQ (15 slot's nicht optimiert) eine feuerkraft von 57130.

die wichtigsten punkte dieser waffe liegen in deren unabhänigen zielen, stärke, reichweite, der ZIELSUCHENDEN raketen und es wird KEINE ENERGIE benötigt.

JEDE RAKETE trifft :)

aber es gibt auch einen nachteil, sobald das feindliche schiff zum wrack wird, wird dieses wrack durch die raketen, die noch unterwegs sind, fast zu 100% zerstört :)
