Having found using fixed weapons pretty much impossible with a gamepad I have always used gimballed. I finally decided to buy a cheap Thrustmaster joystick the other month and after getting used to it I went and brought an Imp Eagle fitted with 2 small burst and a medium rail gun all fixed. After a little scouting around I found a CZ a couple of jumps from my Imp home base and dropped in (this is also the first time for this except when I blundered into one without a clue of what I was doing and quickly left).
Its going to need a few more sessions to get used to and to be able to snipe systems accurately but now I am a total convert and have found a new thing to do. 12 minutes fighting an Imp cutter and then only managed to finish him off with a little help, in my defense I had already ran out of rail gun ammo when I engaged it so I only had small bursts to go at him. I'm sure I saw him smirking at me at one point.
Anyway, now where did I park my FAS....
