Heavy Polaron Beam worth having?

Heavy Polaron Beams sure do have the range, but they extremely lack DPS. It also irritates me on how much they miss their targets.

According to other people, Heavy Beam Lasers are more useful. Just because of the Higher DPS. Good against rushing Exodus base attacking fleets. 
Oh but, the range of does Beam Lasers.... well lets just say, they are easy sniping targets for Broadswords & Venoms.

    thats why you get plasma torps, sure they are slow and the dps and aoe got nerfed alittle....but use longrange weapons to force or push attacking fleets into your chargers/laser ranges

    Torps? You mean Chargers right? Torps do jack now. Make yourself a Torp base and give me coords.

    Sure people with Destroyers + Mass Driver can range a Charger, but with armor and shields that task will take forever. And polarons can't hit those anyways, so Torps and Polarons aren't exactly interchangeable as far as task goes. Polarons 'seem' to be designed for more closer range combat.
    I don't play much anymore =(

    Polarons are not worth having in a base as a result of the low DPS. I do not have any, but I'm surprised to hear they miss their targets.

    I have my base set up properly (Heavy Plasma Chargers, and Some Torpedoes), but I just can't decide to either use Beams or Polarons. 
    but I'm just sticking with Polarons for right now.
    I'm level 29, might be a next target for does hungry level 30+s. I know they will use some broadswords and venoms, that's where does Beams would not be useful at all. 
    Well, I guess that's why you pair them with some Chargers or torps, lol.

    A combo of beams, for the blitzers, chargers, for the rancors and blitzers, and one or two torps, for the snipers will make a good base.
