Lasers, mesons, or plasma carronades. Wait that's too many choices. ARGH

Lasers for range and damage that scales - closer range is more damage.
Carronades if you can get in range, either by raw speed or by sitting at a JP - high damage but point-blank range.
Mesons for mid-range but bypass armor and shields, good for striking at internals.

Lasers are a comfortable middle ground.

Lasers are a good default weapon. I'd say go with them, since they can fill every role fairly effectively. Carronades and Mesons have their uses but are overly specialized.

Just a quick update. I'm in Jan 57 right now. I'm hoping to get the first half of my turn posted tonight and the rest on monday.

Quick highlights. Quick Highlights. The Gate to Alpha centuari is done and the return is well on it's way. We're a little less than a year out from getting a salvage team out to the wrecks. I'm also in progress in building a crappy missile frigate.

EDIT: How do you make sure salvaged RP goes where you want it to?

EDIT 2: Just found it.

EDIT 3: Running late with family. I'm on the road for the rest of the day. I might get it posted, might not, before Monday night.
