In the Direct (and other footage) we've seen quite a collection of different weapon types and ways to engage combat. Pistols, rifles, shotguns (and the different ammo types), melee weapons, fists, a couple of shots showed a dev playing primarily with explosives.

What kind of weapons are you planning on using? Often times I try to stick to one/two weapons (depending on the game and skill-system), but I can see myself at least trying out every different kind I find on my first playthrough :D

What about you?

Oh, I just noticed I forgot about space combat - tough I'm not too sure if it makes any difference in gameplay, or if it's more a "use weapon type X to attack their defensive element Y" until you can board/destroy/whatever?

I like to limit myself to a realistic loadout for a challenge. That means a melee weapon (knife or hand-axe), a Pistol, and an Assault Rifle/Shotgun/Sniper, whatever the situation calls for.

This is what I typically do myself. I’ll probably mix up energy and ballistic ammo types to make sure that I can cover all my bases for enemy encounters.
