Yeh, I like those on my FAS albeit they’re a little sub-optimal against hearts due to lack of targeting (I tried trailing mode but wasn’t keen) so I tried pairing with Mod Shard and a few other combinations. I’ve currently got the following equipped to try out on my next session:

  • 1x C3 EAX MC for Scouts
  • 2x C2 Mod Plasmas for Interceptor hull
  • 1x C2 Gauss for Hearts

I could switch the MC for another Gauss and rely on Plasmas for Scouts but having the MC is convenient for easy Scout clearing. Likewise I could flip to a single Plasma and two Gauss but I feel like having more FP against hull would be better?

modshards with trailing is very good!

Yeh - shards were much better against hearts but I’m gonna try going back to Gauss for a bit.

Any thoughts on hardpoint separation? I’ve got a bit obsessed about ensuring I put like-weapons as close as possible but then I remember how used to use two or three Gauss on a Krait and those weren’t that close … d’ya reckon the top and bottom hard points on a FAS would be a non-starter for a pair of Gauss or Mod Shards in order for both to hit a heart?

Check here for convergence http://a.teall.info/edsa/?s=alliance-chieftain

Yeh - that’s a great site. Looking at those, I would never use the top / bottom HPs on a Chieftain together … but it’s hard to say if the FAS is much better?

Hmmm … just found the “target” option and switched it to a Cyclops. It does look like hitting two ends of a heart with the top/bottom HPs would be a little easier on the FAS than a Chief.

But the heights don’t make sense for that: FAS is 22.8m vs Chief at 19.9m.

One thing to keep in mind, small gauss (size 1) have a small amount of micro gimballing that allow them to aim at your target even if you're not fully lined up. It can help a lot on ships with poor convergence.
