I prefer slow refire-high accuracy weapons, like the order turrets. They might fire slow, but most of the shots hit the target.
I don't remember the stats of the wraith, but I've fought it a few times with nb/sb allowed, and it didn't take me more than 10 mins to kill it (depending on player skill). i fought it once with my rh bomber (i killed it in less than a minute thanks to dual novas), and a few more times in raven / sabre.

I'm going to do the math for ya on how many shots would have actually hit his ship and edit it into this post, going with a 90% Failure rate on accuracy.
(My rough guestimated percentage was about 75% of all shots missed their mark)
Ok here is a rough breakdown of the numbers: Note, this is on a rate of 10% accuracy over a 20 minute period of time. almost 100% constant fire.
120 Seconds = 3,960 shots confirmed hit (One weapon)
Factor in that I can hit him with 5 weapons at any given time nomatter where he is around my ship:
19,800 Confirmed Hits (One Weapon)
Now I unfortunately don't recall the stats of the women so lets assume the stats are 90/90 (I know shield is 90, cant recall hull. I know it is higher however)
With only 10% accuracy and 5 weapons at an under-rated level of attack. I hit the wraith for atleast this amount of damage:
1,782,000
There is not a single person here who can tell me that that is balanced.
My battleship has 390,000 points of armor
With Mk VII Armor I have 1,170,000 points.
Thats a 612,000 point difference, giving the wraith with nanobots an armor value HIGHER than one of the highest rated battleships (Hull plating wise) (Granted alot of the damage was recooped by shield running (Which is why the massive armor value is so unbalanced)
Now I'm going to humor myself and go with a 75% missed shot rating (Meaning 25% accuracy over a 20 minute period of time.
AND I am going to ASSUME that 5 minutes of that entire 20 minutes I spent NOT firing (Probrably more like 2-3 Minutes I actually didn't fire but I'm adding extra time as room for error.
So!
15 Minutes (15*60=900 Seconds)
25% of 900
900*0.25=225 Seconds
33 Shots Per Second
7425 Confirmed Hits
Damage Guestimate 90 Per Shot (Shields AND Armor)
7425*90=668,250
One Weapon
668,250
668,250x5 = 3,341,250 (5 Weapons)
Grand Total:
ATLEAST 3,341,250 Total Damage Over a 225 Second Period of Time (4 Minutes & 15 Seconds)
Lets compare that to the armor value of my ship one more time:
My battleship has 390,000 points of armor
With Mk VII Armor I have 1,170,000 points.
Wraith------Battlestar 3,341,250- 1,170,000 = Difference of 2,171,250 Hit Points In favor of the Wraith
