Yes, and while we're at it we should limit the Anaconda to 4 guns so it will be on par with the viper.
You have a fixed amount of power to fit what you like, be it shield cells or weapons, but you do have to choose - that's called good game design.
Or you could fly a larger ship - that too is a choice: you gain raw power but you trade away speed, maneuverability, cost effectiveness, and fixed weapons for it.

I thing for samming is here a 20% heat use ....no charges ...
Sorry but i dont want every 10 minutes flying for reload ...same as multicanoons ... cant be in fight for longer time... dont want spam it or use i t like u say i just want more fihgting and less reloading and usles flying to relaod = usless time for me.

Nah, Fixed weapons end up being even more effective when used on larger ships. End of the day there is no choice, only less effectiveness all around.
Currently either you go up the chain and pay out the nose for costs, or stay at a Cobra, where even insurance is not enough to put a dent in a run of profits.
Not a terribly accurate analogy.
The simple fact is that while it may be possible for the smaller, less expensive ship to win, the majority of the time they should lose. Cruisers don't normally win against battleships.
Have fun using fixed weapons on an anaconda.
Better yet, use them on a clipper - your hardpoints don't even converge.
If you can't afford to maintain it, you clearly bought it too soon. Not like the fact isn't well advertised is it? People really want to run these ships as combat ships? Be like getting a Ferrari and entering it in a demolition derby.
+1 from me on their removal.
LOL - WAAAAA - didn't get what you thought you were going to get? Too bad.

Players moaned about them being over powered and asked for a nerf. Don't blame the devs on this one blame the players who asked for this to happen.

I do have fun when I use fixed on the Conda.
Hell thats my go to build.
Take a look at this beta video. Same build as live, but I am sick to death of explaining why fixed works on the conda when the vast majority don't fly the ship, or even know what it can do.

As for the clipper, different matter. Being the exception rather then the rule

Games are only fun as long as there is some challenge.
If you are able to easily kill the best NPC ship in the game with a fairly low end ship, then this will get boring for you fairly quickly.
People should be happy that this game is being made more difficult. It will stay fun for longer.
I wouldn't be against having the bounties of large ships go up a bit though.

Come on now, that's one of the only changes I was looking forward to.
Well said. Have some rep!

dont need 10 but dont want fly for reload every 10 minutes. and waste time by reload fly...
Shouldn't bother for the time being as the Asp has a problem, most probably with it's shield cell. I have only one cell and a fully maxed out ship with lots of good stuff on the hardpoints. NPC's are (were) not a problem to me, except Python's. But with 1.1 I go to 102% power use and have to disable 5 modules or I don't breath. Get interdicted near a star and that is an expensive problem to try to solve and stay in one piece.
Fascinating reading about how you fighters do stuff though as I don't normally check such threads that are not about exploring

Nice video. While I'm familliar with the whole "fly in reverse, fa off" trick, it has one major flaw: anyone that wants to get away will easily get away cause you're going the wrong way. Which means you only ever kill people that are overconfident. Which goes really nicely into my earlier point:
Also, the clipper is easily the third most popular of the "large" ships, so I think my point regarding fixed weapons stands rather well. There are only 3 large combat vessels that see any use, you can't really discard one of them as the "exception rather than the rule."
