In Response To: What is your favorite weapon? (Starship Security Officer)

In no particular order...

• The Original Marathon Trilogy:
MA-75 A/B: I agree with everyone else here in that I think the MA/AR is my favourite all around weapon in the game, probably tied with the dual pistols. It's too bad Durandal sells this weapon short in the manual -- though I would have wanted a little more accuracy...perhaps something in between the wide spread of the MA from M1 and the SMG from Infinity.

•Rubicon:
Mercury-Class Fusion Rifle: I really enjoyed this one...it reminded me a lot of the Federation Compression Phaser Rifle from STV: Elite Force and DS9: The Fallen. I do remember that ammo for it wasn't really all that numerous, though. It makes me wonder what it would have been like to use that super-duper über-fusion weapon that looks like a massive bazooka that was featured in a terminal detailing the development of the Zeus- and Mercury-class weapons. Maybe WMAiD is going to give us a taste of that?

•EVIL:
Athena-Class Railgun: Another weapon that I loved to use. Too bad ammo for it was pretty rare (in my experience, anyway). When I play EVIL in AO, using the zoom-in feature combined with the in-game cross-hairs and the railgun's built-in sight always makes me feel like I'm playing Quake III. :)

•RED:
Conch Miner: One of the most oddest weapons I've used. Still pretty cool effects, and I was humored by how the Metallics dropped like flies when I was using this weapon. I never thought to use the mine-laying capability in the single-player game, but when I played RED with The Battle Cat's "Hell Hole", I was amused by just how obscenely powerful these mines were. Makes me think about that story in New Scientist on how Britain did research into "Nuclear Landmines" during the Cold War.

Oh, and I know this doesn't count, but I had to include it anyway: Excalibur, from Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge. Slicing and dicing enemies aside, it also fired strange huge white energy fireballs that did a lot of damage. I thought that kind of made up for the rather underpowered Dachron Minigun.
