Best offensive weapon for Lionfish

kixeyeuser_1388206204979_100007110362324

My Lionfish fleet is equiped with bonespike missiles.
But they just don't do much in damaging the enemy.
What offensive weapon should I equip my Lionfish fleet with??

Bonespike is the Liofish weapon

Look to your build, your specials. Latest armour also provides damage buffs

I can't say mine is the 'best' build out by far as I know there's tech I don't have. But damage output is good, especially the building damage.

Perhaps consider changing pen upgrade to an evade special like GS3 or a countermeasure special like the Pterois defense system. I use evade on my lead ship since the halo missiles love to shoot at it, especially if you auto your targets

I can do the evade special no issues, but lacking more modern tech (heck, only just started getting Capstone from the FM)

Pterois system.. Latest anti special? I suppose I could use the anti special that was released with the Praets as a low-tech version?

(still working this fleet up, getting armour from FM)

I posted this for the OP but do appreciate the feedback however 

The pen upgrade is there more as a place-holder as wasn't sure what to throw into that slot, figured that'd be better than 'nothing'

Only started putting this fleet together when I came back to game 2 months ago

Ah i see, if you can't afford the latest tech then i suggest you save your yard time to do upgrades instead. Refits can be done instantly with tokens as you get them. I personally don't see the praet anti special being too useful so keep pen upgrade on for the meantime. The latest anti special also boosts missile reload so that's what i am using it for, not really for the CM ability

If I don't have the latest tech, then it's obvious I won't have upgrade kits.

This last raid, I concentrated on base tech. Do you know how disheartening it is to come back to the game to get auto'd for alli points?

Seeing screenshot above, you have 152,830 "damage" for attacking.
BUT I only have 37,230 "damage" in attack.
Even though both of us using the same Bonespike missiles!
I am at a loss as to why this is?!!

It's my build, mate.

I said in my original comment to look at your specials. Those need major adjustment, & you want to get the top tier FM armour from the FM, as those also have damage buffs (IIRC, 3% per panel)

Is this a kixeye build? so many unsuitable specials and armors on it.
Replace the last two specials on the ship for starters. Ablative armor special is useless now. You have zero penetrative damage boosts on that ship. 
Also, the armor choice is so weird. Focus only on penetrative and explosive survival. if you dont have good armor (tier 9 or above) dont bother changing it for now, BUT remove the armors that add repair time to the ship, because if your lionfish takes longer than 3 hours to repair each, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Also my build. I traded penetrative damage for much higher penetrative reload, and the antis are a bonus:

You summed up my thoughts on his build well, i just couldn't be bothered trying got remember his defensive special lol
You've got tech there I haven't (only just started getting Capstones)  stuff I need.. Just not going to be easy to get lol

OP's build is obviously something he threw together, the Kix build isn't too shabby (& has Capstone as well)

One special on mine is limited, from the Kix Pegasus fleet
