SLF crew skill question.

So, gimbaled weapons first are indeed the way to go?

I will soon start to train my first pilot and got only fighters with fixed weapons. I guess, I have to change this then.

I tend to lose fighters in CZ to missile spam, so now I have at least 1 fighter with PD with me. It's the fixed pulse variant I believe.

That's what I've found works best, others may have different results.
Tried a harmless with fixed, but was more of a floating target than an effective shooter.
Depending on your playstyle, if you can fit 2 fighters, try a gimbled for crappy pilot and a fixed for yourself.

I am in CNB and have only lost 4 fighters getting my crew to competent from harmless.
She seems to hit the targets now even when they're chaffing, so I might try fixed weapons again, or I might wait for expert or master.

Edit: She was fine with fixed at competent, and the extra DPS is handy. Moved her up to expert now.
