I have a Sidewinder (default load-out) and approximately 20K in the bank. I'll do a few more runs to get a buffer to cover my inevitable ship destruction and allow me to continue to purchase profitable commodities. So with this in mind I've got a few questions and opinions would be appreciated.
1) Stick with the Sidewinder or go with an Eagle?
2) I've had a look here (http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=24121) and I would think that burst or pulse are my best bet. Would this be the case? I'll mostly be fighting around the Federation Distress Signal at Eranin 2 for now.
I don't particularly like missiles or multi-cannons (I suppose I could learn to love them if they are effective) and I'm not sure if the Sidewinder/ Eagle could handle the heat generated from a beam weapon.
BTW, as I'm using a keyboard/ mouse I find that gimballed weapons are a must.
3) I'm also not sure about classes. I'm assuming the higher the class the more powerful/ heat generated etc? and that these weapons might not be able to be attached to smaller ships?
4) I see a little pie chart (for want of a better term) in the top left corner of the weapon stats. Is this relating to power usage, firing angle or somethign else?
I've not even considered other options such as armour etc but feel free to make suggestions.
