	''As the others said, the Circe is to be used only against shielded targets. The idea behind the Circe and the Shield Breaker was to break through the Shivans' shields, and finish off the target with a hull-damaging weapon. It could be used well against waves of bombers and their fighter escorts, but in the ''FreeSpace 2'' main campaign, you also have to engage capital ships in the same mission, meaning that you also need a good hull and/or subsystem damaging primary. Ideally, that would be the Maxim. Beware, however, of the extreme energy consumption. If you choose this combination, learn to be quick at diverting energy and switch between your two primaries. You won't be needing them simultaneously. You must be quick in order to save time, and not use both banks simultaneously to save energy.''

	Difficult weapon to use. Relatively high energy usage, making it hard to pair with hull weapons like the Prom-S and Maxim. It does strip shields quite quickly, but the projectile speed is relatively slow, making it hard to hit with. Only real use I can think of is bomber-killing when paired with a Maxim.}}		Difficult weapon to use. Relatively high energy usage, making it hard to pair with hull weapons like the Prom-S and Maxim.

	I like to use this weapon in an [[GTF Erinyes]] with the [[GTW Maxim\|GTW-66 Maxim Cannon]]. It's quite simple to fire off a couple of ~~Circle~~ bursts: completely stripping away a fighter's shields instantly, and then switch over to the Maxim and blow your target away.
