@Luckner... The Wasp's Rail Barrage has 2 advantages. 1) it can be fired more than once before needing to recharge, my lvl 42 wasp atm can fire 3. 2) energize beams ability means that the APS Destructor can fire once at a powerful level but my wasp does 3(8x29) = 626 damage in the time the destructor does one shot. (8x17 with +12 energize for all 3 shots)
Also, can everybody stop whining about the wasp? It's actually a decent ship and shouldn't be considered obsolete. A simple mix of Energize Beams and Rail Barrage decimates even the strongest units.
Did anybody else having the problem of ships who's lvl was far above the level cap even though you managed their exp and gave all the kills to everything else? I have a bunch of ships above the level cap and a bunch of ships who are way below. For example at one point I was at a level cap 32 sector and i had a lvl 35, 36, 40, 15, 6, and 9. While power-levelling the smaller ships seems to be the best idea for some of the battles you actually need the firepower and can only upgrade one at a time. Tedious in many ways.
