Starfield - What Ship Weapons to use

Traditionally I just use Particle Beam Weapons, all three slots. If the ship is heavy and a slow turner then turrets. Otherwise the hardest hitting most constant firing you can equip. Rips stuff right up and the fights end fast. If however you are trying to capture the ship then first you have to clear away all the other hostiles, so you still need to melt them fast and not take damage yourself. When it comes to missiles, targeting range and how fights go, seems missiles aren't a good choice either. They hit hard; but trying to get them to hit is another thing. EM weapons I am still looking for something I would equip to try them; but it all says just use particle beams and be careful on your last ship, if you can, otherwise maybe next time. Capturing a ship on the ground was so much easier, space capture requires hunting for hostiles, then likely a fight against multiple ships, possibly other non-hostile ships attacking, so they will kill your target capture if they survive to the end of the fight, then you have to try to take out the engines of the ship you want to capture while close enough to get a dock prompts if you do and the ship doesn't blow up, run into you and blow you both up and everything goes just right. It's going to take me some practice to get it right more frequently.
