Engineered AX Weapons for Everyone!

Looks like Bright Sentinel -- Salvation's megaship that's selling the engineered AX weapons -- is moving to Merope, meaning anyone will be able to purchase the AX weapons.

Wow, that's a weird coincidence. I docked there earlier to check out the interior. Had no idea it was Salvation's.

Is this just the burst Gauss cannon that’s worse than the standard Gauss cannon? Or are there other engineered AX weps available?

FDev has followed the Gaijin model with the engineered Gauss... Release it with a "bug" making it OP, get lots of people to spend their resources, then nerf the weapon into the ground. Bait and switch tactic that's illegal in many industries.

To be fair, it was stated pretty quickly that the stats were not the intended ones and fixed the following day on PC and on console right after the weekend iirc.

After firing it a few times I can see the shot speed is significantly faster. It still has the charge up time though. I may give this one a try in combat and see how it does.

I just bought the engineered class 2 plasma charger. Here are the stats.

That's more than double damage on anything above Cyclops compared to regular plasma chargers. The shot speed makes it significantly easier to aim and since it is fire on release and not a delay as for gauss cannons some may find it easier to use. I assume that the range values are left unchanged (1000/3000 m for falloff start and max range), which means quite some penalty for not keeping within 1000 m rather than the 1500 m of gauss. Also remains to be seen how they are for sniping hearts.

I agree with your assessment. I equipped 3 of them on my AX krait and after deploying a heatsink it took about 3 or 4 shots before the heat rose above 20%. I have to be somewhere in the next few minutes but later today I will take it into combat and see how it fares.

Is there anything useful to buy for someone who isn't very much into anti-Thargoid activity?
My best AX ship is Krait with stock 3E/2F AX turreted MCs, used a long time ago for Scout grinding. I'd be interested in these upgraded MC variants, if there are any.
Thanks for the hint (so I don't have to travel all the way there to check the shop myself)!

Hmm, interesting. Are these single material unlocks like the other Guardian bits, which appear for sale in outfitting (at approved places) or more like the pre-engineered human modules that require you to spend the bill of materials each and every time?
