Please stop being so hostile people
It isnt the spirit of this forum.
I like the phase beam, it has some of the better DPS for a beam and is a good choice on ships that can support its relatively high FPS. I usually use it on medium and high tech ships, it has great damage against armor, but the damage against shields is sub-par compared to the graviton beam. This would make it a good beam choice against low tech targets, but it is also great against high tech ships because it has good dmg and can cleave high tech armor down in a short amount of time. I also find it great against fighters as the high damage can swat them down easily, the graviton beam is also good vs fighters, but the spinning effect sometimes cause me more harm than good, though I think the graviton is better against bombers, as it can make them lose track of the target. The emp effect is also quite noticeable, but not the main selling point of the weapon, more of an extra treat that makes it suit the offensive role better.
Tl:dr: Its good, I like it
