The are a lot of weapon types and modes, and I wanted to know what people most commonly use for a while now. Personally I am the gimballed kinetic type. I just hate how long lasers take to kill anything after the shield are done and am a poor shot with fixed weapons. The exotics have too little ammo for my taste. The kinetic route also allows me to fight defensively with strong shields and pips to systems.

In some respects all of the above but i'd have to go with the exotic type as they are the hardest to use and the most rewarding when you get it right. Interesting poll actually, not particularly surprised by the gimbal thing but didn't expect that many to actaully use Rails and Plasma (that's if they're [yes you community] are being honest ;))

Edit: just noticed the numbers, wow 2 beats 1 so far, sorry :)

i cant choose. it all depends on the ship. like the vulture i would run 2 pulse or 1 pulse 1 cannon, some ships you go full some you go mixed. now with a fas, mixed. cause my aim is long term sustain in BH.
it also depends on harpoint placement. Fas benifits from having a turret on top due to huge fire arc. while some just wont.

Hard to choose a combination up there for me,
i have generally a toolbox of weapons.
Not so much depending on the ship,
i tend to mix fixed and gimballed weapons,
along with lasers, kinetics and exotics.

Missiles are out of option currently,
due to the low damage.

I've been using lasers to get the shields down, and kinetics to pepper the hull. I also use gimballed weapons as I don't think I'm fast enough to use fixed weapons. Chaff is a chance to recharge your lasers.

Cheers, Phos.

Fixed burst lasers and gimballed cannons (usually) but I like to alter my weapon load-out constantly. Still trying to find the ace new and improved FDL's best upper limit balance of damage v energy use and heat.

I used beams and multi-cannons with Python in the past but now i really like to pulses with huge Cannons with Corvi. I had never thought to change my loadout when i use multis but now i am very happy with Cannons. Maybe i will use PAs and rail guns in the future especially with their huge versions.

I am really exited huge weapons category. Just PA and Cannons are not enough. I wonder Pulses and Beams in huge forms look like and how hard hit will it be.

I used gimballed lasers and multicannons. Mostly because I cant shoot straight and the Clipper's weapon mounts/facing is bloody awful.

I play a pretty A-symmetrical Cobra Mk3. My favorite all rounder is C2 and C1 gimbaled pulse on the right hardpoints
C2 multi cannon in the front left and seeker missiles on the rear left.

No problems with any small - medium ships. Any bigger and all they see is my ion trail.

There really isnt an option up there that fits my use case. I usually go with fixed beams and gimbaled MC's. I'm partial to PA's too if I'm in my FDL or 'conda
