just keep these things in mind
>energy weapons don't cost money to fire, unlike any other kind of weapon
1. some enemies (not many) are extremely resistant to energy weapons
2. if you go for an energy weapons based build, you absolutely have to build you AC around it, which means maximizing reactor recharge time, and keeping energy consumption at the absolute lowest possible
3. don't ever go for a low weight melee based AC, if you meet enemy AC you absolutely cannot deal with your AC you should consider building a missile boat and play AC the same way you'd play MechWarrior or something
