No! In the previous message, I just "quote" your message in a different way.

Bye bye!

Call me crazy, when there aren't enough Khaak in the universe, I get into my carrier and jump over to a Khaak sector and capture loads of ships.

It's worth big bucks!

I prefer a fair fight against Xenon Ship, no matter I lose or earn credits

Ladies and Gentlemen, since there seems to be 99% "X2 the Threat" gameplay and next to no S&M discussion in this thread, it shall move to its proper Forum. (Added the '[X2]' to thread title too, like it would help any.)

What does that mean? ....unless there is no new weaponry - or weapon classes in X3 which would mean that this is applicable to X3 as well...?

You have a poll about X2, and the gameplay discussion is about X2 as well. X3 has different weapons and different weapon balance, and slightly different gameplay too. Stating clearly what game we are talking about does not hurt. However, people are notoriously blind to such details.

Generally in X2 I tended to go with the best weapons a ship could mount as soon as I could afford them (except when choosing a weapon for missile defence). Later after I had a massive empire I started playing more to see how they compared.

In the end though I stuck with the big guns with the exception of sometimes using Alpha HEPT for capturing. I could be a bit heavy handed with beta HEPT in the Nova resulting in lots of Pirate ships, and so on going boom instead of bailing.

[X2] Weapons - any difference between Alpha and Gamma?

What do you prefer to go for? An Alpha, Beta or a Gamma of any weapon type?
