Hmmm...It depends on what you like. I only go for missiles for the hell of it but when I'm choosing laser weapons and stuff I go for the most hull damage. Lavablades and Magmahammers would appear the best, and you can get them on the Liberty Battleships closest to you. Sure you can have those random lasers that concentrate on taking down shields and only do minimal hull damage but the hull damaging ones are powerful enough. Maybe just go with a powerful missile launcher, two hull specialists and two shield specialists?

Why does the guerrilla fighter fight? We must come to the inevitable conclusion that the guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, that he takes up arms responding to the angry protest of the people against their oppressors, and that he fights in order to change the social system that keeps all his unarmed brothers in ignominy and misery. - Ernesto Che Guevara

a good combo is for the defender is......

2X lavablade mkIII
1X justice mkIII
1Xjustice mkII turret
2x Missles (javlen missles are pretty powerful but miss a bit, erasers do great amount of sheild damage but not much hull damage or staker missles are very good at following the target but dont do much damage).

i would make shore the missles are on the wings of the defender, because if your wings get shot off in combat you will loose your missles and not your guns which will be quite expensive

Hmmm ok

I was under the impression that all weapons should be the same for strength of hit.

How do you make sure the missiles are on the wings??

If you really want to know, anything about freelancer really, more like everything.
Download the Lancerthing at www.Lancerthing.com or org. It has more than i could ever tell you.

If you're talking about pure damage, the best guns in the game are the two nomad guns. And if anyone disputes this, you can do the math yourself and see. Remember 4.00 means 4 shots per second.

Here hold my pint while I steer the ship. Of course I'm kidding you stupid bloak, you think I'd trust you with the beer?
