PvP Weapon Questions

WingNuts · Sep 9, 2018

Is there a weapon that can snipe modules through shields? If so what is it? What experimental is used?

I'm considering changing my play style. I currently run 3 x Frag Cannons with G5 Overcharged and Oversized experimental resulting in 1474 DPS when all the skettles connect. Also 2 x Beams G5 Long range to match range of the Kill Warrent Scanner.

Appreciate imput

Only the flechette launcher can do that.

No engineering required/possible.

With the exception of the reverberating experimental effect for mines and torpedoes, which can damage shield generators specifically.

And anything that heats up your target.

Got to say love the name, it’s the name of my Corp in another mmo I’ve been playing for the past 6yrs.

Cmdr Na'Quan is pretty adept with the flechettes.

Take a look at his videos for an idea of how to use them.
They are pretty tricky.

MRP is the counter to fletchets?

Appears so.
It just takes a long time so you run out of ammo.
Good for weak OC PPs.

I had a tough time even landing shots consistently.
You can have them blow up in your own face!
That part is hilarious!

Yes, as is kinetic resistance on hull and module integrity in general.

It's why you can see such an enormous discrepancy in effectiveness.

Stock bulkhead shield boat with no MRPs and OC/increased range/lightweight internals falls apart real fast. However, use them against an armored combat vessel and you may as well be shooting confetti.

It depends how many you have...

x3 on a Challenger has very amusing results, for sure an MRP delys the effects.. But not for all that long if you place your shots well.. Moreover, if the PP is armoured, go for the drives, if that does'nt work, go for the life support (Often very flimsy).
