Without plugins: torpedo. With plugins: stellar torpedo (Oreste). I realized these were not only slow, but, like other secondary (projectile) weapons, you have to keep going back and restocking. So I went into the data file (a copy) and created a plug that not only increased it's speed and reload time, but also made it "unlimited." Yes, I know it's kinda like cheating, but now I've got a torpedo "machine-gun." BRRRRRRRRRRRRRP! I don't worry about the cheating part, since now the bounty hunters, pirates, and whoever else is angry at me using it. However, I do know how to get out of the way! All it takes is a touch of the afterburner and those torps fall by the wayside. As for primaries: protons all the way! I also like the NaCl beam (also "fixed") in the Oreste plugin. I think the perfect fighting machine would have to be a combination of either the Oct ship that you're able to buy (Mugabi and Destiny) or the SuperEagle (Oreste), stellar torpedoes, and NaCl beam (or alternatively the Peanut Spoons (Quantumire trilogy).
