hmmmmm....I like the swival laser cannon, I like to mass up on those. Also I like the manta fighter bay. I like to launch my 20 mantas and have them do the job for me :)looks pretty cool

What are you voting for
------------------ I ask you to look both ways- for the road to the atom leads through the stars, and the road to the stars leads through the atom.

Swival laser cannon
------------------
I'll toss in another vote for Space Bombs. Great for dominating planets.
------------------ The never duplicated Never capitalized And always puce: forge
There is nothing cooler than getting 30 or so patrolships, and then having then attack ships like crusers. all those missles...but you forgot to put down particle beam(it stinks) but my vote down for fighters. (there's no other way to take over earth) lightnings are way better(unless they kill themselves with their own heavy rockets..that sux), but kestrels are too weak, so i use a confed cruser and lots of patrol ships...the only problem with patrol ships is when heavy rockets fly their direction...
I like the neutron gun that are modified (you know when you buy it select it and the sell it and it is 10 times better)
------------------ if I have asked a question, please reply
Yeah, that`s a good weapon.
------------------ I`m a bomb technician. If you see me running...try to keep up.
My vote goes to Torpedoes. You can take out fighters with them if the fighter flies straight at you. Fighting defenders with them is cool.

Javelin rockets, great weapons, and they only take 10 space.
------------------ Keep watch only for the giants, and you'll be eaten by the ants
I dont like the Javelin rockets, they doesnt cause big damages unless you have many of them
I like missles -- lots of 'em. My "pilot" (Yeah, me.) can't manipulate the ship well enough to use javelins effectively :frown: (And they are about as deadly as spit balls). Torpedos are too slow. Heavies ... I haven't been able to hit ANYTHING with those crazy things. :redface: (A very frustrating weapon.)
One vote for missles.
Sorry about the long silence... I'm counting the votes now...
Okay-here they are-
Javelin Rockets-4 Torpedoes-3 Proton Turret-3 Space Bombs-2 Tractor Beam-1 Swivel Laser Cannon- Missiles-1
And I have a few questions, too- Rick, what fighter are you voting for, anyway? Please specify. And- escape_Alex, you can't have the mod-neutron cannon, as that happens to be an easter egg weapon like the forklift. I'll check back in more often- I promise.

Wow!
I get beaten in a Shuttlecraft by four (or is it five?) missiles. And then theyve get those proton turrets. How do you do it? **
Get a missile jammer, and dodge the Fighter's missiles, and take them out with javelins. Then just circle around the cruiser outside of its range and open fire.

Actually, I think it's a bug.
C'mon, keep the posts up here! Don't let the thread die!
I vote for javelins, cause they're cheap and take no space.
------------------ Senso/Rezo
if i cant vote for the modified neutron gun. then I`m voting for the missiles
Missiles for me. Example: 10 missiles take out a corvette (if done right. If you get really close, 9 may do the trick, but that's risky in such a craft), great for easy money when you have a clipper or courier. Especially if you manage to crack it up before it's shot it's missiles.
