Best weapons for Cobra?

[DrXyas]

So I've made a few million credits on my type 6 and want to start doing some pirating and pvp. Any recommendations on loadouts for this as well as where to find the best weapons for it? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

It depends on the person. I like fix beam and Pulse Lasers Which are not as strong as Multicannon which might cause more damage. But Rate of fire make multicannon also have a weakness it easy for someone to target a ship your attacking and take the kill.

Indeed, it depends on your playstyle. Some people prefer gimballed weapons, some people prefer fixed. Myself i go for all multi cannons. Although they pulled in the damage of the gimballed multi cannons I still think - for me- all Multis are the way to go. I know some guys like all rail guns for their one shot killing power (but very hungry on energy)

Many players go for a mix. Try em all see what you prefer.

I favour a mix of energy and kinetic weapons. Generally I go with a large and a small beam laser as primary weapon, and a a large & small multi-cannon on secondary. Lasers are better for shields, kintetic weapons for hull/armour plus that gets you good damage and rate of fire with reasonable heat levels. You could exchange missiles or cannon for the multi-cannons, pulse/burst lasers or rail guns for the beam leasers... try them all and see which you like.

Any recommendations on weapons that are good at taking out subsystems without destroying the ship? I've been pirating miners lately and like to take out their drives then limpet their cargo but keep destroying them too fast.
