OK, STARFLIER STATISTICS AND POSSIBLE MOUNTS:

- You can put even a Ripper mine on a Starflier :crazy:

Well, funny, but the Xeno particle weapons deal most damage at classes 2,3,5,6 (though i didn`t compare them with chainguns, so i`m not 100% sure at class 6 if they`re the most powerful, but this has no importance hera at our starfliers).
Liberty lasers deal a poor damage ( i won`t display everywhere statistics), plasmas deal a fairly good amount of damage and punch well thru the best lvl-3 graviton shields, but consume a lot of power.
Civilian lasers deal even worse damage than liberty lasers, and if i`m correct , at the same power requirements - but they`re cool looking yellow especially the extremely weak class 1 Starbeam :crazy: . The pulse weapons are great, but you are going to exhaust one hardpoint. I advice that if you want a pulse weapon, put one Adv. Stunpulse on the third hardpoint ;)
Liberty Rogue lasers are fairly good, but i see no reason to mount class 1 Azrael on a class 2 hardpoint, even if it deals a not-so-bad damage. The class 3 Drail deals almost as much damage/second as the class 4 unmountable on a Startflier Vengeance mk 1, but it consumes a lot of power. In my opinion, a pulse weapon would go better on that Class 3 hardpoint.
The Junker Barrager mk1 does a great damage, i beleive as good as the Vengeance mk 1 (refire rate 8.33, damage 30 or 31 per shot), but consumes a lot of power. It`s a class 2 weapon.
Xeno particle weapons are THE MOST , beleive me THE MOST powerful class 2 and 3 weapons. They obliterate graviton shields, which i think most people will get, and deal a great hull damage , at a respectable rate (4.00). The level 2 Scorpion does 73.4 damage per shot, which means 233.2 damage/ second, an extremely good damage for a level 2 weapon. The Adv. Scorpion deals 89.5 damage/ shot , which means 356 dmg/second. Power requirements are a bit high, but it is worth it, beleive me ;) . I defeated in the storyline that Rheinland fleet in Tau-29 along with Juni and the Outcast Razor guys once in a Startracker with 2 Adv Scorpions and another fine particle bretonian Skyrail ;) . They really give a punch.
MISSILES. Well, they are cool, a weird, damage punching mount could be: Scorpion/ Stunpulse / WindStalker Missile. You get the picture. A normal weapons, a pulse and a damage/homing missile.
SHIELDS.
I think everybody will get a level 2/3 graviton shield, most accessible.
ARMOR UPGRADES
....I don`t know, maby no one will use them...
