Ship Builds & Load Outs Krait Comments on these weapon loadouts? - Krait Mk II

[Gleitfrosch]

thinking of a few new loadouts for my Krait Mk II

And one quetion first, are corrosive shells effects affected by the size of the Multi Cannon?

1.
2x large Plasma (fixed), efficient and flow control
1x large Multi Cannon (gimballed), overcharged and corrosive
2x medium Beam Laser (gimballed), Efficient and thermal vent or oversized

2.
2x large Plasma (fixed), efficient and flow control
1x large Beam Laser (gimballed), Efficient and thermal vent
2x medium Multi Cannon (gimballed), overcharged and corrosive

3.
3x large Plasma (fixed), efficient and flow control
2x medium Multi Cannon (gimballed), overcharged and corrosive

4.
2x large Plasma (fixed), efficient and flow control
1x large Beam Laser (gimballed), Efficient and thermal vent
1x medium Multi Cannon (gimballed), overcharged and corrosive
1x medium Beam Laser (gimballed), Efficient and thermal vent or oversized

Any comments?

Weapons load outs are incredibly personal, I find. My Krait runs 2 medium Impy Hammers with short range/plasma slugs and 3 large fixed beams, 2 with efficient/thermal vent and 1 efficient/healing. Thanks to FD only giving us 2 triggers, I generally only run 2 types per ship. Really wish they’d give us 3, or better yet, 4 triggers.

My MkII has:

3x Large Multicannons: all Overcharged: 2x auto loader, 1x corrosive​

2x Medium Beams: both Long Range: 1x thermal vent, 1x oversize​

Seems to work fine. An SLF to watch my back or help with tough shields.

I just love the dakka-dakka of the large multis, even if they take a moment to spool up.

EDIT: agree with ^^, a third trigger would be tops

Three large efficient beams and two medium kinetics is a very effective weapon array, the beams could be gimbals for HazRES or fixed for pirate threat zones (lots of chaff and weapon tracking experimental effects).

I've also used 5 x efficient PA's on a Python against large targets with great effect (absolute damage so they ignore resistance builds) that should work just as well on a Krait mk2.

Recently I've been using 2 x large fixed OC MCs + 1 x large efficient beam + 2 x mediums, the fighter is the beam Taipan to assist with shield removal, with the Kraits high efficiency thruster boost I run 1 pip to engines and 2.5 to weapons and systems.

Plasma is a sort of universal weapon. Absolute damage and very good piercing value. So damagewise you don't need other weapons to augment them and can use them with any weapon you prefer. I believe plasma and rails would be very PvP-style. I myself have a thing for pairing increased shot speed PAs (long range or focused) with multi-cannons, but not being efficient means I can't use many of them at the same time.

To answer your question, I believe the size of the multicannon doesn't matter for the corrosive. Most people put it on the smallest MC.
