Particle Beam of Death
When you are tired of being killed by bounty hunters or pirates, fly and and on a planet that sells weapons for your ship. On some planets, they will sell you a weapon that has no picture or ame. I seems like they are rying to rip you off because you've no idea what it is. Buy it. When you eave the planet go through your secondary list and look for "Paritcle Beam." When you find it, target a ship and get it on your big screen (not scanners), then use it. The "Particle Beam of Death" is about as thick as a shuttle and locks on automatically. This is as powerful as a forklift except on Confed Cruiser; to defeat a Confed Cruiser with it just let it unload until it completely runs out. The good thing is that it doesn't use any shields OR fuel to be used. Unfortunately it still won't kill Captain Hector.
