Holy guacamole!

I've been using gauss cannons. (New character so new RP ethos)

Gauss cannons are good at killing Scouts.

Today I tried a plasma charger.

It is much better. I've paired it with an AXMC and dumbfire missiles on my Cobra, the Jameson's Legacy.

Think I'll spend the next few weeks tracking the bugs. Looks like my home in Lave is safe right now.

FOR HUMANITY! FOR THE ALLIANCE!

Stop right there.

Avocado + aliens are unrelated. So are their technology. And ours.

Lies! Avocado is clearly an alien fungus tree spore.

IT'S ALL LIES! THE GOVERNMENT LIED!

well they are both green? Conspiracy??? :O

Gauss I find to be pretty universal, for both dealing damage and heart sniping. I also find it much easier to use on scouts that the Shard or PC.

Size 3 Shard and PC come out this next update (2 Amazingly Powerful weapons already) with a 3rd weapon as well. it does not look like Gauss is getting an upgrade though

Yeah, the plasma charger and shard cannons getting size 3 weapons will probably make them much better than they currently are. I doubt the gauss cannons will get a bigger size already since they are pretty powerful already and a bigger size would cook every ship regardless of their size and heat dispersing capabilities.

Shard should be interesting indeed, if you are willing and daring you can face tank Cyclops' with just the 4 Shards size 2...thunder-cannon is less than joyous to receive, but I swear it was one of my quickest kills of the 10 I have done

What exactly does a shard cannon do? I haven't unlocked it.

Works like frags. I like it against the scouts as they buzz by and catch a face full.

Giant, blue space shotgun

literally almost no different to current frag cannons, only it damages Thargoids significantly. for me I generally don't like getting close to the things due to the thunder cannon factor, but shards I found most effective for dealing damage and melting their shields than any other weapon so far!

I even tested an all Shard Cutter, although it was far from my record for ship hull loss (was down to 60%) it was fantastic for heart and hull tearing at less than 750m range!!


Scouts, not so much, yes deals good damage when they get close, but I prefer the gauss for those reliable long range hits

I'd use shard cannons for sure if there wasn't a limit to the number of experimental weapons we could have and if we had size 1 versions of the weapons. They do shred the thargoid shields better than any other weapon I've seen

I imagine size 3 plasma chargers will be best for taking down Interceptor base hp. Gauss cannons will probably still be great for taking out hearts.

my thoughts too, I will probably run a cutter with 2-3 size 3 Chargers with gauss cannon/s.

pretty sure 3 shots with a single gauss is a heart, although I have always run at least 2 and that usually takes 2 shots (1 with a precise shot of three )
