Engineers Power distrubutor advice for my combat anaconda

[Zaen Xalin]

Hi there I cant decide between charge enhanced or weapon focused... my combat anaconda uses:
2 small beams
2 med burst lasers
2 large burst lasers
1 large multi can
1 huge multi can

please advice from experienced players

by the way any tipps for obtaining excuqisite focus crystals i d be glad.

If its mainly a combat ship, I'd go for the G3 weapon focused. On a good roll you get a large capacitor boost and a decent boost to the charge rate, with minimal loss to the ENG and SYS capacitor.

The G5 charge enhanced is great as well but you'll die of old age before you find even one Exquisite Focus Crystal!

charge enhanced already gives more charge at G3, and the charge rate is what allows you to fire continously.

if you don't run a lot of weapons with a high single shot draw from distributor (railguns, plasma accelerators, missiles), you will be always better off with charge enhanced. for exampel: i run WEP focussed on my double railgun DBS. and charge enhanced on all others.

to me it looks, like exquisite focus crystals can't be obtained at the moment, so i settled for L4 charge enhanced on most of my ships.

Get the charge enhanced one. Don't bother with the wep focused one since getting the charge enhanced one will improve your whole ship(can boost more often, able to put less pips in weps and more in sys/eng etc....etc....) With charge enhanced PD you will never run-out of energy in most cases so the 10-15% reduction in charge capacity don't matter. However you will have to settle for a g4 charge enhanced PD cuz you can't get the foucus crystals for the g5 mod due to the bio-tech conductor bug. But g4 isn't a long ways off from g5 in fact the performance increase of g5 over g4 is about 5-7% so it'll be ok for now.

thanks for heads up bout the bug I never find those maybe done 5k missions so far in game is there a hope the bug to get fixed ?

Charge enhanced g5 is a huge improvement for all systems, even at low pips.

will be for sure fixed at some point - but without any ETA etc. i don't think it is worth waiting. as said above, i simply settled for G4 charge enhanced for now, they are great, too.

I would say G3 weapon focused if you have rapid fire/OC mods on your weapons since these will hit your WEP capacitor.

Otherwise as above, charge enhanced will give a good all round benefit. Good luck finding exquisite focus crystals though.
