look into the ini's and find out that weak is 80%, and good is 120% off normal damage...

FD just basicly said that. The game doesn't give enough bonus' to justify buying completely new guns for new enemies unless you are only planning to kill one fraction. The nomad weapons that you get off their wreaks and by killing them are good vs all shields so are the best all around.

I smile when I don't know whats going on...

Basically the Skyblast B overtakes the Kraken 2 as the best lvl 9 weapon. (not including tizona)

Not really, the small advantage the skyblast gets for shield damage is beaten by the damage advantage krakens get for hull damage. Besides, Tizona Del Cids match alot easier with krakens than skyblasts.

strafe! the three VHF's are equal in strength
