The huge multicannon is a cool weapon as shadowhand alluded to. The fact it has no spin-up time makes it unique. It's not a rotating gatling-gun sort of arrangement. One of Elite's most glaring limitations in my view is the fact we can only have two firegroups. The huge MC with no spin up makes me feel almost like I have three firegroups. By putting it on the same firegroup as the medium MCs, I can use the huge MC selectively with quick trigger pulls. Each pull spits out a single corrosive shell. If I want to add the outboard autoloaders I just hold the trigger down a little longer so they complete their spin-up....
Just a side note the VKB Gladiator NXT Evo joystick has a dual stage trigger where a partial pull would fire the huge MC and a full pull would add the medium MCs. The secondary trigger also has two bindings so a pull could be secondary weapons and a push drop a heatsink or whatever.
