Some nice flying, hey question - I am still new to this game (3 weeks essentially, though i bought it at release) - I have a fairly decently equipped FAS

Can you give me any tips, probably going to drop the Hull Reinforce for another Shield Cell bank, which leaves trying to work out what weps work best.
I tried 2 large canons and 2 medium beams which was ok but my aiming is still average...

I might try something along your lines but not sure how I will go if i get a PvP match up, obviously my skill level is still pretty crap against players

Your loadout looks ok to me. This is mine:

http://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_a....Iw18gDGQ.CwBhrECYahGONEGZnGEA?bn=Ants FAS PA

It really good for PvP but isn't the most efficient for PvE although it does work. The B3 and B4 SCB are stacked and when they finish I turn on the B5.

The FAS can have so many good weapon loadouts. The 2 x PA are really for big game hunting, but 1 large PA and 3 pulse is very good for getting practice with the PA, a skill worth developing.

Also popular is 1 large beam and 3 canons.

I find using 2 beams uses up the capacitor too quickly, although beams have a good damage per second, the damage per energy is much lower than the pulse and when you take recharge time in to account the pulse are better.

As for PvP, it is a lot different to PvE and takes some time to learn. The most important thing to know is that with 4 pips in sys your shield strength is greater so if you are being shot you must have all pips in sys. With the changes coming in 1.5 that might change but keeping your shields up at the moment is vital.

The best thing to do is to find people to practice with, wing up together then fight until shields down.

If you are with the Federation we have a Teamspeak: elitefederation.teamspeak3.com:8819



We have done a couple combat training sessions to get people used to wing combat as well.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Ant_Solo =) after watching you I actually tried 2x Medium PA's and ended up having a lot of fun once I got my eye in, definitely was more fun than cannon and certainly made a difference to kill speed especially on Python/Condas - so I'll just get some more practice with that setup and try and move them to the large mounts.

Thanks for sharing the vid

I play from Western Australia so the last time I joined the TS channel no one was active at the time, I'll definitely try it down the track again.
