Help me fight boredom (building the ultimate PWNZaconda)

[pato]

After playing VR i discovered it is much easier to use FIXED weapons and i trained hard and got used to it pretty well.
I have been playing with c4 and c3 fixed pulse long range and c2 and c1 railguns with plasma slug.

Now i want to go all nutz and create the stronges possible Anaconda DPS wise.
Im going to build the ship arround weapons and not the other way arround.

which weapons will be most kick arss?? (including faction weapons which i have to unlock yet)

Frag cannons give the highest dps output. But you have to be very close.
Plasma Accelerators give the highest absolute damage, but they are fixed and not easy to hit.
I'd start with those.

Defo PAs. Loved hitting stuff with them, but they will boil up your ship faster than a microwave.
So best advise: Have some Huge and large PAs and the small and medium slots with efficient Beam and Heat Vent to cool you down (gimballed or turret). Sucks vs Chaff but you should get enough cooling in during down time.

Grind that Anaconda and discover a whole new level of boredom.

Efficient Beam mod is not the best combination for the heat vent effect. Light weight might be better.

Frag cannons are not good enough imo because the Anaconda lacks speed and manouverbility to be constantly close enough.
Also tried 4x fixed burst laser with intertial impact but it is even worse (it hits super heavy if it hits, but you need to be even 400m close to hit another anaconda)

if i go 4x pa and 4x efficient beam will this not reduce my dps big time?

what if i go 4x pa and 4x rail gun (maybe even the burst railgun) and make heat sinks or go efficient power plant?

or even 8x railgun to shoot everything at once which is kinda controlable without heat sinks

Which is why when jousting with an NPC or some weenie that's tryin' to raam you then frags are well worth it - just two is all ya need on a conda. After you take the target ship's shields down a couple of size 2 engineered Frag Cannons with one each corrosive and inceniary will usually finish the job in just a few passes. Shoot the suckers in the face! That'll teach'em to joust with ya...
