I was just wondering what people's favorite weapons are, or what weapon combos they like to put on ships.
I've recently come to fall in love with the humble PD Laser (not LR). Nearly useless without advanced optics, but if you make that investment they become amazing, in my opinion better than any other small mount point defense! They pack the same punch as tactical lasers and cost the same (5 points), but can target missiles, have a faster track speed, and only use 50 flux - very important on a standard wolf. All my Medusa's are equipped with 5 of these on the turrets - almost immune to missiles and they pack enough punch to help in a slugfest.

i gotta go with either the pulse laser or the Scatter PD laser ( junk pirates mod) its like a extremely inaccurate laser machinegun and it is awesome :D
-
I've gotta go with the heavy blaster and antimatter blaster. Just love the sounds and the feel, "Take the shot!" crossed with pew pew's big brother. The fact that they wreck anything below cruiser after a couple volleys helps too :D
-
Probably the Tachyon Lance. It is just a purple beam of death. Four of them on my Paragon means that frigates are getting one-shotted across the field.

Hellbore Cannon. Such a savage weapon. Especially when they are lined up on an overloaded ship and you are screaming "FIRE! FIRE!".

Seconded. Having played with the loadout of the Conquest in devmode, the Hellbore is an absolute beast of a weapon, to use, to see, and to hear. None of that *** ass 'tsseww tsseww' or 'pew pew'-- just the good old fashioned, manly muzzle blast of a proper deck gun.

Heavy Blasters, they're an antimatter blaster with more range, infinite ammo and good DPS.
Standard Bomb Bay, used on my giant piranha bomber setup I made a thread about. :P
-
Dag I dunno. Heavy blasters is up there. Phase beam is fun, but it's just a mini tachyon. So that's another obvious choice. :)
I think I like reaper torpedoes the most though. There's such a GRAVITY to them that is pretty much unmatched anywhere else.

My personal favorite - by far - is the sabot missile rack. Yes, they are a little bit difficult to aim properly (with a bit of practice though you are even able to long range snipe almost anything) , but the effect of a salvo on shields is just..brutal!

I personally use a wolf with extended magazines and two linked racks. The 10 missiles can tear up a hole in almost anything up to destroyer, and the lone antimatter blaster in the nose can seal the deal if they don't. With some practice and luck, you can even kill some cruisers this way...^^

That sounds like an easy mod. :) Oh man, I'ma call it the ahab harpoon launcher (if someone doesn't beat me to this, haha).
