What is your dream/favorite Weapons load-out on 3-slot ships? And why is it Flak-1, BL-2, and Halberd? [Easy-Norm-Hard-AE]

Stipulations: We're around sector 4-6, hp is 25+, already have 2 extra systems, and saving for the third (fourth if Pre-Igniter counts as a system). During the run we've had tons of scrap, lots of agreeable drops and shops, literally everything at our fingertips. The RNGods smile upon thee

Question: Which 3 weapons do you select for those 3-slots to finish the run and flagship?

My answer: My absolute favorite on any 3-slot weapons ship, regardless of boarding vs non-boarding, is Flak-1, BL-2, and Halberd.

My reasons: Flak to pop shields, BL-2 for system/hull/crew dmg AND fire chance to primary target (typically weapons), and vs high evasion, serves at least as shield popping. For the Halberd it cannot miss and can hit 2-5 rooms depending on enemy for 1-2 dmg per room. It is really, really nice to spread out damage to distract enemy crew (e.g., they'll always have 1 crew repairing shields). With a Gold-Star Fireman, each salvo is only 13.6 sec (even faster with AutoReloaders)

Re, Boarding ships: These weapons are still excellent. You can move your crew around which can pull their pilot/engineer to reduce evasion (just mind them locked doors and the heavy guns from your ship)
