Nothing can cope with frags realistically, the only ship can withstand the entire ammo pool of a wing of frags is my Cutter, even then though its min maxed to hell and back, 10,000MJ of shield, 44,000 if you count my resists + pips to sys. but then the bonus with frag is reloads(soon to be fixed in 2.4) with reloads you can kill ANYTHING at all.
Mediums will be hard for sure but big ship get trashed by frags, though this is their intended use... as you say yourself thermal frags are extremely bad vs hybrids or hull tanks, given most shield users are bi-weave FDLs you would be hard pressed to get much DPS out.
This is why my clipper is so good, its got speed, boost 601 at an FDL, ram and frag normally kills most bi-weaves instantly. the catch with my build is low thermal damage but then I don't fight big ships simply because they can just wake far to easy.
I would love this!
We all know that the best meta is to fly backwards with 4-0-2 to pips, use gimballed weapons with premium ammo and pack hounds with premium ammo. make sure to reload if u run out of ammo .
That method of flying is about to finally stop. 2.4 my friend.

Point taken, will need to regrind.
how about a friendly 1v1? I can be ready in the next two hours.
Thanks indeed for your observations about the iCutter.
About synthesis interruption, the latest from Sandro was:
(I think 'cannon' was a typo, meaning 'kinetic.')
I'm afraid that a 2 second timer wouldn't appear to have much effect upon FAS / FdL etc spamming basic reloads.
My concern was that the 30 second timer on everything, plus instant interruption, as was in place at the end of Beta 2.4, would have left a big ship unable to reload, ever ... against mediums with effectively infinite ammo.
But with a 2 second timer it's basically business as usual, on basic reloads.
All that said, Sandro does say that revisions might be made after this goes Live.
I suppose one solution could be a 30 second timer on everything, but do away with the whole interruption mechanic. That stops continuous fire while allowing ships of every size and speed the same chance to reload.

must have been those trash pvp bulids you be posten xD
You have a YT channel? I would like to amaze myself with ur skills
Yes I 100% agree a blanket 30sec timer for reloads regardless to damage, that way there is some tact to starting the reload as you run out of ammo, timing it well will ensure you are always running with ammo and punish those who cannot follow the flow of the battle, while allowing big ships to reload.

yes i do, but not pvp focused one , of a novelty factor channel were i post stupid stuff and the occasional AA highwake
what about the heat sink synths? are we back to SR FAS meta? sure hope it was only in beta.
SR will never come back now we emisive lasers.
Well, on Sandro's current proposal, the shortest heat sink timer is 20 seconds, which is instantly reset by taking any weapon fire to shield or hull.
But added to which, running quickly through the effect of Silent Running on each weapon type:
1. Fixed weapons: no effect at all. Upon the Silent Runner firing, his ship and all his subsystems are subject to full targeting, including where applicable lead indicator, by enemy plus entire wing.
2. Gimballed weapons: as above, except that gimbal lock may be of poor quality due to low temperature. Solution is emissive.
3. Missiles: lock can be infinitely prevented by silent running. Again, solution is emissive.
4. Turrets: completely unaffected.
5. Mines: completely unaffected.
6. Frags/ramming: completely unaffected.
In short, silent running has literally no relevance to PvP except to missiles and, to a far lesser degree, gimbals, which effect can be completely and permanently negated by fitting one emissive weapon.
I honestly don't think we need to worry too much about Silent Running, nowadays!
All excellent points.
However when flying with frags, toggle SR (you dont fire anyway until close to target), unless they use emissive (very few use lasers in PVP nowadays), there is no counter for it as I see it. You basically avoid the only counter against frags, which is long distance weapons such as rails.
IMO they only did it for the explorers, who now have no risk getting burned near the star...

Immurshun ruined all is lost.
Explain?
And be careful what you complain about, I spent three hours farming mats just for the hull reinforcements last night, and I still don't have 100 rolls. Grrr.
Need more Core Dynamics Composites.
