CRAFT WEAPONS 1) Without a doubt, the Plasma Beam is the best weapon to equip your craft with. With a range of 52km and 100 shots at a possible 70 damage per shot, this gun can out-distance all but the battle ships. 2) Though some might argue that the Fusion Ball launcher can cause more damage per shot, you can only have two shots for each launcher ( think about it! ) 3) If your attacking very large ufos with Interceptors, you'll most definitely need a number of crafts attacking at once, all armed with Plasma Beam and / or Avalanche weaponry. Even with this set up, you can still expect heavy losses as even a single hit from a Battle Ship will cripple an Interceptor at the very least. 4) If you want to attack Battleships without risking everything, only use Firestorms and Avengers with twin Plasma beams. However, you can still expect serious damage, up to 20% to 60% per hit. So you might prefer to let them land and then attack them on the ground.
