Hi Dangerous, I am sorry if I kept you waiting for this message.

I use to play normal difficulty but now I play extreme. The main weapons which I use are the Icarus Heavy, M6 Raccons and Dark Matter Lasers. Normally (on the ship Bloodstar) I mount 2 Racoons and 2 Icarus Heavy. The Racoons take the crud out my enemies and if they arent in range, the Icarus Heavy takes on the killing work. I dont use Dark Matter Lasers that much because they have a weak range and one needs to aim much more accurately in extreme. I use the Racoons and Icarus more because Racoons being beam lasers, can track and shoot the enemy nearest to the aiming reticle and the Icarus Heavies explode when come close to the enemy.

In my secondary weapons I mainly keep, Dephase emp's, AMR Extictors, Shock Blasts and K'ssank mines.For long range targets I use Dephase Missiles which in 2 shots can dissable a ship leaving it vernerable to my fire. I use Extinctors to do heavy damage on a large clump of enemies though I am always careful not to blow it to close because in extreme our ships get damaged when we blow nukes to close but it doesnt matter that much because I have the Particle Shield.Shock Blasts help A LOT when you are surrounded by enemies as they throw ships far away from me so that I can make a quick escape.

The last but not the least is the K'ssank mine. Let me tell you a trick to use this thing which can help you a lot when you play. Whenever you are surrounded and you dont have any shock blasts launch a K'ssank. Its very high damage can easily destroy or even severly damage your enemies. Another way to use this thing is that whenever you face an enemy ship use your greatest weapons on that ship. If that ship isnt destroyed it will just simply pass above your ship. When it does that launch the mine instantly and you'll see that ship blown to kingdom come. And the greatest part of this trick is that your ship in expert difficulty wont get damaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats because the K'ssank isnt a nuke. So instead of using nukes you launch K'ssanks instead, which will badly damage your enemies and save you from getting damaged.The only catch is that you can only use it for short range combat and it doesnt have a large damage radius. Otherwise this thing works just fine.

I hope I satisfied you with my message. And dont forget to use the mine trick. use the vortex machine to slow down time so that you can practice.
