Auto canon is the only great gun?

[Chico]

hi every body,

i've tried each gun in the game in full config or mixed ones.

Every time my analysis is that full Auto Canon far the best choice, so the only one... too sad even if i love my auto canons.

If we take energy weapons, the energy consumption means you have little energy left for boost engine and shields, so barely worth it.
Some times one or 2 Plasma Launcher on top of Auto Canons could help a bit but costs energy, so downgrade your defence/mobility.

Tried even the rare weapons (flak, gatling, cpc).
The fisrt one seams to be buggy as it seams to have less chance to hit that the Auto Canon (despite it is an AOE) and does less damages, and the Gatling / cpc drain too much energy to be viables if you consider energy is usefull in speed & shields.

Could be a great idea to add modules to store power for energy weapons for example to make them a viable alternative, it could open other config for a greater fun?

thanks guys :)

Bullet guns really are the best. They mess up the energy economy as your ship only has to feed 2 systems, instead of 3. The energy bar gets to be used entirely as a shield dump, giving a huge increase in survivability.
