Plasma Accelerators...

What's the velocity of the fired projectile like? Fast? Slow? Never used one. :)

And what ranges is it best at? Can it snipe with good aim?

Many thanks. :)

Slowish. Sniping is possible but it is heavily dependant on velocity and vector, both yours and the targets. They're fun weapons to use, just need practice is all.

Hmm. Well, all my bounty hunting is specifically aimed at big ships. I may have to consider it. What's the damage like, against shields & hull?

Plasma Accelerators velocity is fairly slow, I use to use them on my courier against larger and medium ships, i would get pretty close to my target then fire. It would do varying amounts of damage to both hull and shield, even modules. I think the amount of damage done may depend on the angle of attack although im not sure. They are also pretty expensive to fire, so instead of PA's i went with cannons. They are not as cool, but they are easier to aim with, cheaper to miss with, have higher velocity(C2's), and reduced drop off.

Oh well that's good. I hate cannons for anything except ground assault.

How's the damage against shields & hull? I'd be using a Size 2.

Shields is good, hull can be lacking, depending on how armored the target is or of you hit an internal module. Module damage on a direct hit is really good though.

Really? Interesting, yet another re-evaluation for me to consider tonight.

I use C2 pa's on my DBS whenever the situation allows just because they are a lot of fun and surprisingly efficient at killing.
I tried C3 on the Vulture just 'cos I could but I didn't find them as much fun, not quite sure why.

They do take some practice, but if you can get them on target(or nearly, they do large amounts of splash damage) against a power plant they do wicked damage.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I just did a little toying around in-game, and I've decided to go with a fixed Size-2 cannon on this hardpoint. Now my Cobra has a tank gun!
