Swap my rail gun for ...?

So i have a Python fitted with 2 large gimballed beams and 2 medium gimballed multi-cannons. That combination works really well however i also have a large B2 fixed railgun in the lower hardppint.

It's not seeing much use due to my reliance on the beams and trying to conserve and lower heat. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for something else i could replace it with. My idea is that a another kinetic wepon would help but i don't know what would work best and whether i should go fixed or gimballed.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

I was under the impression that the p. accelerator would be more heat intensive plus it'll be a        to aim with.

I think 3 rails would be a bit much and not too efficient :D

I don't even know to respond to that Armholeeio, touche.

Swap them for 5 x Rail Guns. You're gonna love them. In case you only play PvE, get 5 x Beam Lasers. BH without an end.

How do 5 beams work out? 2 large tend to stress an A distro and pp in my experience.

They drive down a lot of energy but they make big holes. Use the downtime for WEP recharge to reposition yourself behind the target. Target the Power Supply of course when in PvE and you get Pythons cut down within 30 seconds.

Heat control isn't that much of a problem if you go for 95% while fireing and keep it cool down afterwards.

described Beam loudout is a PvE loadout. But it works wellin PvE. I use 5 Rails in PvP. Some might say, Python? Pve? But I just like the Python so I stick to it Aslo In PvP. It's the 5 Rails that make the difference. A FDL is hard to crack but it's the skill in the end that decides.

Rails are impractical purely because they have such low ammo. It could easily be doubled, and why not?

Using the Python as purely a BB trader/smuggler, I don't really need the ammunition count except for occasional interdictions. I have a Ferdie and the Anaconda for shooting stuff in a Hazres :)

Saying that, I'd love some more ammo for them...

Wait for 2.1 to be released!

Then switch to this.
2xCL2 Gimbaled Beam lasers and 3xCL3 Multi-Cannons.
Use the lasers to take down shields and MCs to crack the hull. I
took down a Dangerous Anaconda bot in about 20 seconds targeting his power plant.

CL3 MC are armor/component killers right now and you will have no heat issues unless you fire all 5 weapons over 10 seconds continuously.
