Hard Hiting Weapon

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Hard Hiting Weapon

Has anyone found a more hard hitting weapon than the Kraken 2 (class 9)? dmg 586*4
Ohh and has anyone found a more hard hiting turret than the Salmanak (class 9)? dmg 489*4

PS.
I´ve already checked nearly all the super weapons (class 10) and found them lacking in damage.

Wyrm Type 2 (So far available as loot...By maybe available for sale)
Tachyon
Hull 652
Shield 362
Fire Rate 3.03
Power 163

Tizona Del Cid
Pulse
Hull 40
Shield 1242
Fire Rate 4
Power 97

Firekiss MK 1
Plasma
Hull 636
Shield 318
Fire Rate 2
Power 132

These weaps do more damage, but from what I have seen, the Salamanca MK II is better then all but the Firekiss....

Salamanca fires twice as fast as the Firekiss...but does less damage.

Tizona is a Pirate weapon (Corsairs I think)
Wyrm is a pirate...Might be available at Ruiz Base or Planet Malta....But mostly as loot.

Ok...As someone pointed out...It REALLY depends on HOW you want to count it.

I am going with the damage per shot...NOT Cyclic firing over time, and not counting recharge rates and refire rates.

The damage per shot is better on the Firekiss....but NOT in cyclic firing (Holding the button down) Over time, the other is better.

With all due respect I think youre wrong.... If you do the math you wil se that
Kraken 2 (hulldamage) 586*4=2344
Wyrm type 2 (hulldamage) 652*3.03=1975,56
(I wont even do the math for the Tizona Del Cid)
Fire Kiss MK 1 (hulldamage)636*2=1272

You see... in the end it all comes down to hull damage..... And the best weapon for that is (atleast to my knowlege) Kraken 2
But if you find a bettre weapon feel free to post it here

By "hits harder", I guess you're referring to damage output, or damage x refire. Of the c9 guns, the Kraken 2 has the highest damage output; and, in fact, higher damage output with better efficiency than most c10 guns, except for the Nomad guns, of course. So, 6x Kraken 2 guns on a VHF can be better than a loadout including non-Nomad c10 guns; unless you're going up against ships with shields that have an advantage against particle weapons. The c9 turret with the highest damage output is the Skyblast Turret B, which you can get on Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13, if you are friendly with the GMG.

I really like skyblast B's, the extra range, projectile speed and refire rate over the C10 guns is nice.

Must agree. I found a full set of Skyblast Bs (and turret) in my Sabre FAR more effective (forget the figures) than any combo of level 10s.

I have Nomads & Salamancas now which are a little better, BUT without a turret with the same weapon speed (600), I find the targeting is again buggered up.

Oh, certainly the Skyblast Bs are a blast to hose the bad guys down with. But they're not particularly energy efficient, and that energy bar goes down real quick when you're hosing. It's hard to go back to dealing with energy drain once you've been using Nomad guns for awhile.
