Plasma accelerators seem to behave in 1 of 2 ways for me they either blow my target to bits with 2 hits or do nada..i`ve ripped a cobra to bits with 2 hits and then seen a sidewinder laugh off 3 hits on unshielded hull for the loss of 6% hull total..i am aware that some hulls are better than others but a hull that can deflect the BFG of the game on a hull that small? Is there actually a reason behind the radical variance in performance or is it just a glitchy weapon that for no reason varies its output by about 500%.
PLasma accelerators suffer from RNG?

Sounds like a bug to me dude.
railguns seem to react the same way. spent a while with them on the class 2 spots on a cobra. some hits on other cobras would do 40-50% hull others on the same would do 10%.
with so little actual information on so many important things we have no idea if its a bug or not.
Ive used twin Plasma Accelerators on a MKIII and triple Plasma Accelerators on a Python extensively and not experienced the behaviour described so im pretty sure that its not intentional behaviour.
The cobra went down with 0% hull integrity..the eagle took more hits and laughed them off.
I tried them on my ASP for a while and didn't have much success. Went back to a different load out and can vaporize anything smaller than a Cobra with one blast. be aware that which hard point you place certain weapons on will also have an impact on it's effectiveness. Experimentation is the only way to get it right on whatever you're flying ATM.
Yeah, crap against shields, very good against hull, devastating against subs (if you can hit them...)
Also, don't forget armour has an effect. Still.....
I`ve given up on them...watching a hauler take 6 hits from them and it only taking 10% damage per hit...i cannot see how these are viable weapons,slow to fire,slow projectile,energy hogs and physically expensive and doing less damage than a cannon....what is the point?
