Plasma accelerators would like a word.
Using an all Beam Laser build on a large ship is amazing. Change my mind.

Since I wrote the post you quoted I switched over to 4x C2 gimballed overcharged frags (3x screening shell, 1x corrosive) and although I have to get closer it is overall quicker to kill large ships and the frags are great on shields as well as hull. I still like the beam, I've always been more of a sniper but it works just as well as close range too so it adds range flexibility that my frags now lack.
I'm not so keen on the mamba's turn rate and with a fixed C4 weapon the top vs bottom placement isn't a factor for me so I stuck with the FDL.
They are amazing on small ships as well...
[NERD ALERT]
Those are contained plasma blades, not lasers.
Its also not a small ship, but a midget on speed...
If I could get guud and actually learn to properly use fixed weapons I would love to use huge PAs on my Corvette.Plasma accelerators would like a word.
The problem is I play with a controller (console player) and getting fixed weapons to work for me is an exercise in frustration.
I play with a controller too, although on PC. It took a while only using fixed weapons to GG enough to hit reliable and if I'm up against one of the small ships I wish for my gimbal multies. Hang in there and use them, there is no more satisfying feeling than deleting a ship in 1 volley or 2.
Yeah my problem is I fight more smaller ships than big ones since I spend alot of time farming signals and materials. Hence the gimballed beams.
The crazies shouted that socialism, feminism, and any number of things was what was going to destroy modern society. But if only they knew... It was deep space radiation making all the men sterile because they were too vain to wear their lead codpieces out in the black. Now humanity lay in ruin. Albeit, stylish ruin.
I have an all-laser turret corvette that I can just leave AFK in a haz res forever.
Yeet.
Yeet.
Class 4 beam works nicely by itself, anything more than that will bottom out your distributor. Fill the rest of the slots up with missile racks and then you'll be having some fun.
Your video isn't available.
I switched it around. I have 2 size 4 beams with long range and thermal vent. Then I added 4 burst lasers with focused
yeah i have 7 turreted oc beam with termal vent in my cutter and in cz is really ezy just push fire button and then watch a film in the second monitor, just have to switch targhet wvery 20\30 seconds, this game is so dangerous
Frags are nice, but the low ammo count discourages me. I want to stay up to fight for a while, and I'm not grinding for synthesis.
They suck against hulls.
Did a few weapons tests using various loadouts here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/page-785#post-8320359
If you can hit, Frags looks awesome for short engagements. My Federal Corvettes usually uses a mix of 2*4H mc's and beams. My mission Python uses an all mc configuration.

A shield-eating firegroup.
A hull-eating firegroup.
(Each with the other on secondary fire for those brown-trousers moments when you simply MUST just unload everything and pray)
And your build is complete.
What you select for each one and how you engineer them is about how you - personally - fly and fight
(although I do happen to like beam-heavy loadouts myself, I admit)
