Everyone has their favorite combination of HERC’s and weapons. I’ve
found the following set to work well in most situations. You may want
to make modifications to the weapons list depending on the particular
mission you’re going on, such as loading up on precision weapons for
salvage runs, or snapping on a missile pack or three if you know
you’re going to be up flyers.
