Really old topic bump but wanted to share my setup

Front weapon, rear weapon, and sidearms are all vulcan.

This setup burns through anything but the best generator in a few seconds, but I love playing it this way.

Favourite "Starter" (E1) Loadout:

Pulse (F), Sonic Wave (R), either duel Satellite Marlo or single Mint-O-Ship (SK) with front and rear upgrading after selecting top gen / shields.

Front Guns:
Zica Laser
Lightning
Laser
Mega Pulse
Vulcan

Rear Guns:
Sonic Wave
Fireball
Guided Micro Bombs
Vulcan
Heavy Missiles

Sidekicks:
Proton Cannon Tangerine / Companion Ship Gerund
dual Zica SuperCharger
dual Plasma Storm
dual Dual Shot Cannon
BattleShip-Class Firebomb / Companion Ship Gerund

Special (pickup):
Flare
Soul of Zinglon
MegaLaser Dual
SDF Main Gun

In short, I tend to favour running aggressively destructive loadouts.

a bit weird to say but, among all the front weapons, I prefer Lv.9 zica laser most......
It's more joyful to operate on, comparing with Lv.10 zica laser, while the power is still satisfying.

and surely I love mega pulse.

Front heavy setups. Starting loadout for me is:

Front: Vulcan
Rear: Sonic Wave
Sidekick: 2x Vulcan

Special is whatever.


Endgame:

Front: Laser (For "everyday" use) or Lightning Gun (For when I need some extra damage. Not good for everyday since it'll bleed even the Gravitron Pulse Wave when at L11 with other equipment)
Rear: Sonic Wave
Sidekicks: 2x Vulcan
Special: SDF Main Gun

Fighter is usually Stalker 21.126, although sometimes I use Gencore Maelstrom instead because Stalker's twiddles can be unreliable with the SDF equipped.
