    Lasers, with the little *zap* sound effects.

    So true, having seen a few things somewhere that really take that to heart, I truly believe that lasers suck as sci fi weapons.

    Particle cannons however rock.

    Hmm I'm undecided here. See Lasers are ok, I mean great for stealthy Assasin work you know, you go you sneak in you snipe the target and because of the distinct lack of visible firing soloution for counter fire it makes a better chance of escape than a particle cannon which would leave a visible firing soloution (trail going from your position to the dead target if you don't understand) but then particle cannons would obviously pack the most firepower, I mean what good is a beam of invisible energy if it's got as much power as my kitchen toaster!? See my dilema?

    Clearly lasers. Combined with one of <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061019/ap_on_sc/cloak_of_invisibility">these invisibility cloaks</a>, a ship could be firing at an enemy, and the best indication of their location to the enemy puts them anywhere in a range of 180 degrees.

    With particle cannons, all the enemy needs to do is look where the shots are coming from.

    Hmmm. Quite a tough decission. Im all for stealth, but firepower is such a fun thing to you. Which one has a cooler sound? And ar we talking about Goldeneye 64 type of lasers? Cause those kicked ass. how bout dual qielding a laser and a cannon, or having both in yourr arsenal? Can we do that? No? O well, Im cheating then.
    It looks like the ground had a sex change.

    Lasers for me. Lasers are precison tools, particle cannons are blunt instruments of destruction.
