best photons

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!

as dragons stats say the gun you mention is class 6
do you mean a different gun as the only class 9 photon i know of is the skyblast b which is pretty darn effective

Post Fri Apr 09, 2004 12:45 pm

@steel, something odd, their is only 1 class 9 photon blaster, so that is automaticly the most effective aswell as the most destructive photon blaster in his class... but you can see also this in the odd site as the lessest energy consumption and lowest hulldamaging photon blaster in the class 9 group...

The refire rate of the Skyblast B is 8.33. This makes it a very effective gun. Even with Class 10 mounts, I use it. I almost always use Liberty Lasers early, GMG Photon guns later. Combine it BHG turrets and all your projectile speeds match up. In the mid-game the Zoners photon guns are ok too.

@ittan, this sounds me ass a spam-threat if your serious about this

no this is not spam. i just wanted your views on photon cannons.
dont know why the photons seem to be a good lot of cannons.
i guess you are right .
sunfury is class 6.

look i see thus photon blasters mostly as flak cannons, fight firerate, enough damage a sec, but need a lot off energy to stay online... this way you will need also an other way off destructive weaps, ie. shield busters and missiles...
