small hardpoints on Large ships?

[E4GLEyE]

What would you guys suggest? Is it worth popping railguns or cannons there or the usual burst lasers are the best option? A bit confused as of what to slap on there on the Vette, thanks in advance for the ideas

I generally go for engineered beam turrets. They do slow but pretty much constant damage without draining your capacitor.

Depends. Beam lasers help with the mosquitos (I turret them because they're only for the small garbage). Cannons (from what I hear) punch a class above their weight. So, small cannons are "effective" against medium hulls. If you go cannons, you may want to long range them; that gives you the option of turrets that actually hit targets or projectile speeds more comparable with your other gimbaled weapons so they're not constantly out of the fire arch during maneuvers.

Rails are fine... but, I just find they're more of a distraction from a coordinated assault which costs DPS performance.

I used to use hi-cap multis, switched these over to rails for feedback and super penetrator. Convergence is pretty good on these hardpoints, the middle 3 guns (3 / 2 x c2) I usually gimbal, and leave the huge for fixed again (Cannons or PA's).

The corvette is nimble enough to track smaller ships if you fly it right (bursts of FA off)

i would mount 1 mc with corrosive, and if you use gimballed bigger ones, 1 mc with emissive

edith added: both turrets

Small turrets, for taking out small ships; like Eagles. Harder to hit with the larger guns, etc..

 

[PhanttoM]

For large ships I usually put cascade rails for anti-SCB, or one turret pulse laser with emissive emissions.
Sometimes a cannon turret with dispersal field.

Disclaimer: I never owned a corvette, so I don't know about the hardpoint placement for the small ones.

PvE turreted efficient or focused Beams. Keep up the pressure as I turn.
PvP Rails Longrange with feedback cascade

I use a pair of focused emissive pulse turrets. I wish they were removed from the conda or relocated elsewhere, i hate having them at the bottom.

I like MC turrets to constantly add corrosive to whatever gets close to me. In general damage will be crap anyway, so focus on good special effects, depending on the rest of your outfit. So SCB breakers if you dont need corrosive for example.

 

[Trollymctrollerson]

OC enforcer cannons

 

[Speedcuffs]

Railguns, or turrets with emphasis on special effects.

On Vette I use a corrosive mc and emissive pulse most of the time. 2 frags are fun with ramming.

What engineering do you recommend on the frags?

 

[Vedmo]

The ones I have are rapid fire thermal and rapid fire drag, was thinking I'd soften the shields right before the ram, but I sometimes wonder if thermal is a good idea.
