I have a combination of cyclotron ballista and rocket launcher on my fighter. It’s fun, but the rocket launcher doesn’t always kill enemies in one shot when the shields are down. Bummer :-) What do you use for that overwhelming sense of power in space?
Infra knife goes brrrr.
Seriously though, it’s the only weapon I have installed on all my ships. It rips through shields and ship hulls.
I always upgrade it with S class modules at first then hunt for decent X class ones.
Infranife with X modules and adjacent supercharged slots is so OP. If the goal is efficiency, why would you get anything else?
Second vote for infra knife. Of course, has to be paired with the standard laser for leeching shield energy.
I’ve been resisting the urge to use save editor for the expedition out of fairness, but I’ve put enough hours into the game that I refuse to grind on my main save… for a laugh I set every slot on my S-tier fighter to supercharge, the infra knife is fucking ridiculous on that. Just BRRRR and the enemy ship is gone.
Interestingly, despite cheating on my main save unlocking every upgrade for every ship, and installing the solar sail, along with all other upgrades, enemy ships still run rings round me.
Infra knife slaps, though I use rockets with it because for some reason it makes me feel like I’m Luthen.
Upgraded Infra-Knife for the general purpose magic smoke maker; upgraded phase beam to top off the shields for free when things get extra hot.
Another vote for the Infra-knife. Don’t group upgrades, put your max-stat X-class mods in the 4 supercharged slots of your fully expanded ship, wherever they appear on the grid, and you can get 55,000+ damage on an Exotic or Solar, 65k+ on a Fighter.
Infra-knife is the One True God. Upgrade that mfer with S-Classes and you’re already invincible. Get the max X-Classes and you can vaporize anything within a half second
Does anyone have experience with a maxed out Photon Cannon?
