ok, i'll tell you what i fit my ship out with...

2x Tizona del Cid (Hull:600 Shield:1242)
2x Nomad Cannons (Hull:423 Shield:699)
2x DIAMONDBACK (Hull:1173 Shield:556)
1x Skyblast Turret B
(for a turret, it is best to have a fast one (8.33))
if you want to replace one of the guns with a missile, then...
for Sheild: Paralyzer Missile,
for Hull: Cannonball Missile,
all rounder :Firestalker Missile

So just where do you get a paralyzer missile launcher? I don't think it's in the unmodded game.

i like low fire rate hight damage

Definately Low refire, high damage. I jove when things blow up in one shot.

I want Freelancer 2!

im starting to lean towards low refire and high damage weapons too, since the best weapons in the game happen to be those. but i hate slow projectiles. which is why i usually favor fast refire and fast flying weak weapons.

I like rapid firing, low damage ones

-low firing rate
-huge damange
are for me

here's my ship's config:
Eagle, Ripper mine
-2x Wildfire (they are the best lvl10 weapons you can get)
-2x nomad cannons
-2x S___ can't remember how to spell it, it's one of the lvl9 guns, not the blaster.....
and the turrent is the same as the lvl9 gun
-sunslayer torpido
-i also have cannonball missle + sunstalker missles in stock for swapping them with the 2x lvl9 guns when im on mission

Actually, DIAMONDBACK and CEREBRUS beat WILDFIRE in terms of firepower. I myself use 2 Nomad Energy Blaseters, 2 Nomad Energy Cannons, 2 SKyblast B's or 2 Firekiss Mk2's or 2 Salamanca Type 2's. My current Turret is a skyblast A, but I plan to get a SKyblast B turret pretty soon
