Usually Photon Pulse Cannons and Flak Artillery Array / Cluster Flak are best for any M2 ship. 60 million should be enough to kit most of it out. Set the PPC to capitals, and the flak to either fighters or attack all enemies.
I think the encyclopedia will show you what factories/sectors that sell them if you've already come across them.

What are you going to be using it for? AI control? IS or OOS? Makes a very big difference as to what's best.
Altho, I would agree with The-Gizmo that PPC and FLAK is always a good combination (and in my opinion the best if under AI control).
How to get them? Depends on which game - X3R or X3TC?

Struggling to find something from the forums - Google it!!!
It's X2 the threat. I look through these forums and everyone talks in acronyms. I really need something i can understand. I heard that mass drivers are good, but can't find anywhere that sell enough ammo. I cheated to get my credits, and I am considering restarting my game. For the mass driver ammo is there a way i can build a factory that makes the ammo?
Also does anyone know what the best ship to use most of the time is? Like a ship that can defend itself if it needs to but is also fast? Also what is the best sector/fleet killer?

Well, if it's X2, the first thing I would get is a gunnery crew. You need to follow military-transports to Equipment-docks and buy their military personnel very quickly as they sell fast.
It is possible to get reports of where these transports are located. If I remember correctly you need to buy your own equipment-dock to get these reports.
After that you can install a mix of weapons and the gunnery-crew will chose
the best ones for the task at hand, from gamma PPC to alpha IRE, using
whatever you have in cargo and whatever is possible to install.
The Titan is good because it has plenty of cargo-space for a good selection.
My memory is a little hazy as it's been a while, but if you research gunnery-crews you should be able to get all the info you need.

Thanks for all your help everyone.
Now I need a little advice on stations. Is there any command you can give to make the docked ships on your station come out and and defend if the station is attacked without me being there?

If the ships are homebased to the station they will automatically defend it when it comes under attack. Whether you actually WANT them to do that is another matter. Consider: if the attacking force is weak enough to be taken down by a few fighters then it isn't going to do much damage to the station--you should easily have enough time to jump in and help out. Conversely, if the attacking force is a real danger to the station, it will swat the defence ships without any great difficulty, and you'll just end up losing several million credits' worth of fighters along with the station!
When you tell them to dock does it automatically make it their homebase?
I just got attacked by the xenon and I had 50 novas in my dock so i told them all to attack all enemies and it got them all. Im wondering if i should just leave the novas flying around in that sector with the order attack all enemies. I am trying to build a sort of empire, like a sector that belongs to me. So far i have a cattle ranch, silicon mine, ore mine, solar power plant anda crystal fab. What next? Also where can I buy the weapons specified by Infekted?

With 10K cargo hold packrat every missile you can find. Tempest, Typhoon, Hurricane and Firestorm missiles does the ship wonders.

If Playing X2... don't forget the IonDs (an X2 M2 with IonDs was an evil beast as I recall)
