I could never really get too enthusiastic about blaster launchers. Probably a result of that just about every time I raided a base, the commander would blow
itself up with one before I even got in the room. I'm not a big fan of self-pwning...
The nice thing about laser rifles is that since they have both autofire and infinite shots, you can just settle down and blast away to take out any walls that
are blocking your sidelines. Why go in through the door and possibly be taken out by the alien standing in the corner when you can make your own doors?
Last time I played I also learned how awesome the stun rods are. Have to be right next to the target, but since they KO in one hit and never miss, they're
nice for taking intact ships, when all the time I'll move forward, turn (without changing squares) and find myself standing -right next- to something.
