Engineers Is one large grade 5 overcharged beam laser enough?

[sibullski]

I want to put one on the top of my Fas and am wondering would that be enough to take down shields on deadly anacondas and pythons and other assortments of beefy ships is this a good idea or not so much?

Overcharged beam is a bad idea on any ship. Go with Efficient.

Yes for NPC's.

edit
Efficient, that is.

For NPC's one class 3 efficient beam is enough. My vulture takes down everything the AI has with one beam and one MC

But on FAS i would suggest to try a Plasma Accelerator since it has the maneuverability to use it proper

Thanks for the replies guys I'll avoid overcharged beams like the plague

If you can handle the heat and power drain, try long range beam, g2 or so. Extends the dropoff range from 600m to 3000+. Gets you 6 seconds of full burn on them before hitting close range.

I can vouch for long range beams but not for the long range, rather, that lack of damage dropoff at medium range.
