Overview table for reinforced plasmas at the FDL
i created a table which shows an overview which combinations of plasma weapons work on the FDL from my point of view, which ones are borderline and which ones you should rather not do.
the green framed parts have proven themselves constantly very well in battle.
It is assumed, however, that you work strongly with the distributor and that it is full before the plasmas are shot.
the table deals only with the plasma modifications that result in a significant increase in damage, i.e. efficient and overcharged or short range.it was worked with G3 overcharge and shortrange on the class 2 plasmas in order not to overstrain the fdl completely.
slow plasmas and fast are imho 2 completely different weapons from my point of view. i would not recommand slow plasmas for beginners cause you must be able to fly combat FA OFF to hit fast opponents. also you should not look for the reticule to land this plasma volleys but cross the flight vector of the opponent so the reticule come to your shot point.
focus plasmas are nice to start with and even the new ones without the thermal reduction work nicely with the actual power distributors. with the focus you can go after the reticule and also hit faster fa off ships when they are G5 engineered which leads to 1750 ms shot speed.

Gute Werte - Good values
Akzeptable Werte - Ok values
Kritische Werte - critical values
atm i personally fly a huge overcharge and middle efficiant on my FDL. This gives the option to fly 3 other strong weapons in combanition with a nearly 300 damage Plasma Volley
