Is there a hotkey to purchase items in larger quantities? Doing a Revolutionary run and getting scrap metal in that quantity without purchasing is difficult, and buying it by holding down the up arrow is a chore.

I think there's just a percentage chance of a crash with hunter killers regardless of weapon damage, sounds like bad luck.  I don't think you're ever really going to get crash by overkill damage unless you're downing hotrods or early ships with missiles/flame cannons, it's pretty extreme iirc.

In any case, while the lasers will damage vipers, beam/lascannon won't really do anything to marcsec gunships due to the armor.  10 armor roughly halves a beam laser's damage, at 15+ the weapon is basically useless apart from keeping shields down.  I'm guessing all the damage is coming from your missiles.

That would sound about right on the damage, I've had the most success against them with my Missile heavy craft, if it is just a flat percentage chance that'd be good to know at least.

So I'm having trouble downing either the

Marsec Gunship

or the

Spoiler:

Viper Fighter

without blowing them to pieces, if I go in too light I die if I go in with what I have that can kill it it blows up what seems to be 100% of the time, any tips on weapons to acquire or build for this purpose? I'm using

Beam Lasers, Lascannons, and Meteor Missiles

on most of my craft.

Thanks, and, no, I suppose it isn't, but I'm being dumb and trying to check off every research.

I've tried to see if there is an answer to this question somewhere else but I've yet to find it, so, sorry in advance if I've just been blind. But how does one research Plasma Weaponry? I've got several weapons but no research options, despite the fact I've exhausted the research tree to the point where I've gotten the last craft built. Is it just some enemy type I've missed interrogating? That was what ended up stalling me before when I had missed the Trader Engineer.
