What's your favourite Weapon/System/Sub-System?

[Centaurishin]

I was particularly fond of having two Pegasus missle systems on my Engi ship, then a defense drone and hull repair drone. Weapon Preigniter never hurt for it, either--but with that combination, I was pretty much unkillable by that state, barring running into a ship with three or four missle/bomb weapons.

Hands down, a combo of Burst Laser 3 and Breach missiles.

On an engi ship, with the standard Ion II, Burst Laser 3, and Breach missiles, I was able to make swiss cheese of the final boss, considering I had missiles stacked up for the entire game, since before the boss... I let my drones do all the work. The ion would beat on a system and would weaken the shields, the lasers would fire 5 shots, which arn't that accurate... but they work well in doing some damage, and the breach missiles would just cause anyone who was in that room to suffocate, also doing serious sub-system damage. Basically, when the final boss came, I just kept shooting breach missiles into the med bay and killed off all the crew, including most of the gunners. Then when he came back in his second form, there wasn't any crew left to repair subsystems or to teleport to me on stage 3!

They also work well if you want to capture a ship, since they do low/no hull damage, just cause hull breaches that cause the AI to go to a frenzy of repairing, while you take your time and plow through all their shields and hull.

So far I like the fire beam. If you pair it with something that can take out the enemy shields its great. It strafes several of their rooms so you can light them up, it reduces oxygen and takes out their subsystems.

So far I haven't had the opportunity to use the fire beam + ion, which seems like it would rule, however with missiles and a burst weapon it also works. Target their shields with missiles + burst and then light up the rest of their ship with your fire beam.

even the Boss cant withstand a Ion-Fire Beam-Combo, except that you cant win against him by just grilling all the crew members^^

I found an anti-bio beam. It does 60 HP of damage to everyone in each room it hits. Two sweeps and everyone is dead! Empty ship ready to strip out.

Favourite weapon has to be the fire bomb. I will always make space for it, no matter what. Against any ship except automatic ones, it just wrecks face. A fire bomb in an unmanned part of the enemy ship will not only distract a bunch of their crew, it also has a good chance to inflict hull damage and cripple them. Against the final boss it's almost unfair because one guy can't put out the fires well enough, so their guns just die. Fire that will almost always work regardless of enemy defences is just insane and I'm glad I haven't found an enemy ship that uses it.

Snagged 2 bio beams and a pair of burst laser II's. Boarders? Who needs 'em? Granted, not the best setup for the final boss, but a hull repair drone, a system repair drone, and a metric ton of drone parts (not like I needed 'em once I got that ridiculous setup named previously) put some balm on the horrible, horrible laser-and-missile induced burns. The RNG was almost painfully in my favor the entire game. I shall miss it dearly.

Pike and Halberd beam cannons.
Every time my Burst lasers/Ion cannons bring the enemy's shields down it's one
of those beam cannons that cuts the cake and splits it into fair portions.

Honestly the pure greatness of destroying 2-5 systems at once with the pike beam's great range...
I can't get enough of it.

My favourite Weapon is: Fire Beam

Its may not be powerful, but its the funniest weapon I ever bought Simply, take down the shields, and fire that beam and watch the enemy crew burn to death, keep firin' and firin' and that ship will be in flames, if the enemy crew is rockmen then they are still dead, just slower, remember they still need o2

[LaserSushi]

Fire-bombs or cloaking. I enjoy burning subsystems.
