I recently updated my ship design from positronic torpedo to black hole eruptor, but I'm not so sure it was the best move. My small ship configuration went from 33 damage to 50 but the cost jumped from 295 to 400.
Now my colonies churn them out at a reduced rate and it's slower to build a "swarm" of small fighters.
Anyone else feel that at a certain point one is better off not implementing the most powerful weapon available?
