Federal Gunship help

[cmdrzeeez]

Hi folks swapped the Alliance Challenger for the Federal Gunship....wow shes a beast........easily melting elites with ease except for the elite conda which is quite a battle altho she always come thru in the end last time was down to 4% hull but boy that satisfaction seeing an elite conda go BOOOOOOOOOOM right in front of you awesome...........like a kid in a toy shop lol big smiles.....

The Gunship is fully A rated with fully engineered MC and pulse lasers,6C Biweave shields,shield boosters,thrusters,FSD,power dist and Fighter hanger with 2 Taipans and expert crew

The pulse lasers seem good compared to the beams i was running as they seem to have a longer uptime without draining all my power and manage to strip the smaller ships shields in seconds i find the conda a pain they take forever to strip their shields,the Multi cannons are great once the shields are down is this a good loadout for elite pve guys of should i run a different combination ? The multi cannons don't seem to do much until the shields are down is this correct ? also facing the big ships is it better to put all pips into shields or weapons ?

You need one MC with corrosive. One of the smalls, high cap/corrosive.

Swap one small Mc with a laser and vice versa.

Maybe put the shield bypass special effect on a laser or 2 just for slightly faster killing

Try using plasma and fixed cannons instead. Let the taipans shoot down the small fry. Cannons and plasma will be more effective on large targets than pulse and MC

 

[metatheurgist]

Small weapons have low armor piercing which means they have a harder job damaging hull. For this reason some would make the small weapons energy weapons since shields don't have armor hardness.

You propably have problems against Condas (and pythons?) because they bank a lot. Fit two long range feedback cascade rails in the c1 slots and happily negate their banking.
