PBG. Do u use them?
I bought a lot of PBG guns, about 60 of them
I did it, mainly because the factories were fully stocked and I could make a lot of profit, but then decided to keep them when the time comes I have a sufficient fighter force.
I was wondering if people use them, and if they do, what ships they equip them with, and if they have friendly fire problems.

Yes, I use PBG's. Usually they are mounted on Blastclaw Proto's since they can't have HEPT's and I have a few other ships with them mounted, don't recall which ships though. Never had friendly fire issue's since I fly alone, unless you count the occasional NPC who decided to fly through my field of fire. But it's rather easy to regain any lost rep so it's no biggie.

I put 6 on my Hyperion when I go after capital ships.

AI Eclipse+PBG= TOTAL PAWNAGE.
load a Panther with PBG-Eclipses and nothing will stop you.

I have a Perseus* wing armed with PBG's and PBE's. They don't last as long as the HEPT/EBC wing, but watching them take down Kha'ak Corvettes in Operation Final Fury missions was a lot of fun.
* For aesthetic reasons, because this game used the Poisoned Paranid start and they're homebased to a Zeus. Falcon Haulers or, with a larger budget, Eclipses would be much tougher.

BUt if you are on a Visdar and put turrent defence to "attack enemies", the khaak scouts go down just as fast. like in 2/3 shots. A lot of time i just get the message that i got x amount of money for taking out a scout while i am engaging some bigger Kahaak ships. It was fun. Oh yeah, if you are on a Vidar, PBGs are useless against you. But then,m when it is fired at you, it looks so pretty being felt boil alive.

the PBG OOS isn't as powerful as IS... (wyvern11 made tons of OOS-logs - there is a list of average damage of each weapon OOS, but dunno where it was)
(HEPT, PAC and PRG work very well and do a good amount of dmg and it doesn't feel like cheating)
PBG are like a cheat - or just horrible balanced. I don't use them cuz i hate them. All enemy fighters have that thing MOT so i don't want to see it all the time on my fighters.Feels like a cheat tho, melting those Q's away...

It's nice that you care about aestetics. Personally I do too, the Perseus Sentinel is the coolest looking ship in the game.* For aesthetic reasons, because this game used the Poisoned Paranid start and they're homebased to a Zeus. Falcon Haulers or, with a larger budget, Eclipses would be much tougher.
However, I don't see why you needed to point this out. It seems as if you're saying there's no reason to field the Perseus other than the aesthetic. It's a solid fighter. Very good in the M3 role.

I use them when my HEPT's are out of energy cause PBG use very little energy..
For AI wings I use(d) them but I'm removing them from all of my main wings cause they kill all missiles before the missiles hit the target... and watching Silkworms/Thundeerbolts/Tempests even Wasps get crisped away before they hit the target by PBG is making me
