In-game Description

Boron Phase weaponry is an iteration of particle accelerator weapons first developed by the Paranid and Argon. The fired energy pulses, consisting of highly accelerated and polarised particles, prove effective against hull, while less so against shielded targets. This puts Phase weaponry in a unique position among the Boron arsenal, which otherwise tends towards primarily impairing shields and mobility. As a necessary last resort against undeterrable hostiles, Phase armaments are widely available as either weapons or turrets in various sizes, and form the backbone of Boron weaponry and fleet compositions.

Tactical Overview

The Phase Gun is the primary anti-hull weapon of the Boron Navy and plays a critical role in actually destroying the target after it has been stopped and stripped of all it's shields by the Ion Gatling. The two weapons go hand-in-hand.  Or tentacle-in-tentacle i suppose.

The Phase Gun is a very straight forward weapon designed to do one thing, destroying hulls. And it does that very well.

For this it of course offers very high damage output against hull, but struggles against shields.  While the rate of fire is a bit on the lower side, each shot hits relatively hard.

The weapon is also very accurate, has very good heat efficiency and a reasonable fast and long ranged projectile.

Just pair it up with an Ion Gatling and rip enemy fighters apart.  Simple and effective.
