Well I'm going to start hitting bases soon and I am stuck between which weapons to use (I have unlocked everything up to Rancor). I was thinking Plasma Battery or Beam Laser

    Depends really. Blitz = Laser (which most Exo vs Exo fights are) or if you prefer tactical fights use PC.
    I don't play much anymore =(

    I've found tactics dont help much with exo v exo fights.  Of course someone is always welcome to prove me wrong.

    I only use plasma chargers on my broadswords to hit bases with only short range defenses.  But with most bases switching over to heavy plasma chargers on turrets, those days are numbered.

    plasma bat works best on ships that run towards you.

    Same with scatter rockets

    mass driver/railgun/beam laser are inacurate

    lasers are so close range that they succome to plasma bats.

    You ask "what is best" if you have ever played RockPaperSissors then you know there is no strait answer.

    Skill aside, this is what happens.

    My analogy isnt flawless mind you, since RPS is a guessing game BUT.

    Lasers give more room for heavyer armor.
    Projectil offers longer range
    Explosive offers splash damage.

    Weigh your options carefully and make your decision based off observations, not because someone told you Rock is better than Paper because it beats scissor.

    Also if you are going to make a good fleet and i cant stress this enough MIX YOUR SHIPS

    Edit after re reading OP

    For bases using rail guns on Destroyers is a good idea.
    Then pair them off with some fast fleets that run plas bat or scatters  so they can run and gun while pulling long range fire away form your destoryers.

    The OP is talking about base hitting, not FvF.
