I love the zero energy usage on those Nomad energy cannons. After you get a couple of those, you don't need anything else.

There is actually a second Nomad weapon called Nomad Laser that you can see on some of their ships, but they never drop it.

well they're fine in single, but you get all these uber setups in multi that use 4x Nomads on an eagle with 2x Tizona del Cid's on the L9 points and the uber torpedo launcher as a missile.  forget the name of it, but you can only find it at the Bundschuh base.

The Sunslayer or something...I've seen them aboard the Bretonian battleship in Dublin, too, and one of the Kusari battleships.

yea you can buy the ammo anywhere, but the first torp launcher (Starkiller) isn't available until you get to bretonia.  I think the starkiller is better in MP anyway since its about 20x less expensive per torp and the launcher isn't tucked away in a place where you need an alt or some bundschuh friendly person to give you a launcher for an insane price.

The only ship in Freelancer that I felt was worth anything was that one Freighter that looked like a beetle. Sure, you lumber along like a lamed snail, but in Turret mode, you've got a bazillion Turret mounts to knock down anything in range.

The Drone?  Haven't flown it myself, but the Rheinland freighter is pretty good too, even if the hardpoints are setup wierd.

It was, I think, the second most heavily armed freighter in the game, with one of the largest capacities. Toward the end of the game, I could survive most anything in it, just due to the raw volume of flashing lights I could put in the sky. Basic strategy was lame: run away, drop mines and abuse the arc of fire of the turrets. Lame, but damned effective in anything but an ambush at a jumphole.
