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 Turret employed by the Boron shares notable similarities with the Argon Flak turret. Although the Phase Turret exhibits a comparable damage output against hulls, it performs suboptimally against shields. Its accuracy is acceptable, and the projectile speed is above average.

By itself, one can anticipate the Phase Turret to yield slightly worse results compared to the Argon Flak in most scenarios, yet it still outperforms other standard turrets like Pulse or Bolt.

The Phase Turret finds its strength when used in limited numbers, providing the hull damage that other Boron turrets lack.
