I have, there is a load of lasers on the go. You even see them when the Python pilot turns to face the attackers.
The Python was getting hit with weapons designed to take out shields, from up to 5 attackers - a sustained barrage and his shields stayed up thanks to loads of SCBs
I counted 6 used by the way, though not sure how many were doubled up - but there was at least 6 SCBs used from what you can see / hear in that video.
(Oh and should that link go dead for some odd reason or the video get taken down, I've saved a copy of it myself - will upload to my channel if needed)
BTW, you do know Multis have always been the best projectile to take down shields?
So even if it had been just Multis (which it wasn't) - then his shields should still have come down with 5 attackers, much faster than 30 seconds.
And you should not be able to ignore multiple attackers for over 3 minutes regardless of what equipment is fitted
The python was getting hit with multi-cannons and pulses. These are not weapons that destroy shields quickly. I saw two beams used for a small amount of time while the shields were up, but used more often when the shields were down.
And you call that a sustained barrage? Please. That was not a sustained barrage from five attackers. Do not try to sway those who haven't watched the video with your delusions.
Multicannonss are
terrible weapons for taking out shields, especially at the distances and speeds in that fight. They do less damage than cannons and they have a large spread. Not to mention that pythons have the smallest profile available to ships of that class from that angle.
Let's actually look at the video and see what really happens:
2:22 - first attacker opens up with multicannons at maximum range.
-----This attacker can't stay on target because chaff is deployed soon after.
2:36 - a second attacker joins in, for a few seconds.
-----They both stop attacking for the next fifteen.
2:55-3:00 - two more attackers pop in (totalling four) and the python takes some
serious hurt, losing two rings in ten seconds.
-----Chaff is dropped and SCBs are hit, keeping the shields barely functional.
3:24 - beams finally enter the picture as all but two attackers break off.
-----SCBs bring the python's shields back up to two rings.
3:41 - third and fourth attacker rejoins with multicannons.
----SCBs used again to bring the python back to 3 rings, pips to shields.
3:53 - python begins its 180, picking up the fifth attacker.
----Loses a ring in seconds, deploys chaff, and hits the last SCBs of the bank, switching to its last set.
4:24 - python completes its 180, chaff ends with python at full shields.
-----Five attackers fully reengage.
4:33 - python has lost its shields.
-----It took five attackers nine seconds to punch through a pair of SCBs and an entire python shield.
So no, it did not take five attackers thirty seconds to break a python. It took them nine seconds to break 2439.5Mj worth of shield.
Approximate figure. Three boosters plus a non-prismatic 6A generator for a python gets 635, and the class 5 and 6 SCBs output 390. Four pips to shields increases the shield value to 238%, totalling 2495.5Mjs worth of durability.
And with terrible weapon choices too. 250Mj/s is terrible for five attackers.
You are still in check. By the way, someone saying that you don't know what you're talking about isn't attacking the poster so much as it's attacking the methods you're using, especially when it's made very clear by the post in question that you do indeed have no idea what you're talking about.
