Topic: Basic Weapon Choices

I played Asintec and gathered the associated laser tech, but I found putting 4 lasers on starter is a great way to drain battery power.  I wanted to post the basics for comparison and comment:

Standard Light Gun/EM/Laser

CPU 5/25/20
Reactor 15/30/40
Ammo 200/50/120
Mass 400/250/150
Acc use 1/3/5
Time 3.2/5/4
Damage 125%/135%/100%
Falloff 125/50/100
Hit disp 5/4/3
Range 75/120/150

Analysis:  This is a rock/paper/scissor scenario.  Choose the weapon for your style.  I choose to get in close range because I have trouble judging minor bumps that can block my shots, I am also annoyed by power drain, perhaps time to move away from the lasers.

Please post your thoughts and experiences.

Re: Basic Weapon Choices

lasers are IMO best all around weapons

Re: Basic Weapon Choices

Get better at judging bumps, cos kiting is pretty much the only way you are going to survive without a pocket healer.

Re: Basic Weapon Choices

Lasers are sweet. Watch your accumulator when it hits around 50% i think after it gets below that it doesn't recharge as well. Repairer is a module you dont want to use until after battle, unless its an emergency, but since your thelodica you should be ok with using speed and range to keep control of your situation.

EM weapons sound like your dealio. Make an alt and give them a spin.
