Long time player returning to Elite- last time I was here it was early 2017 (nothing like a personal carrier coming soon to get me excited).
Back in the day I played around quite a lot with PVE in a combat cutter (I know, I know, go get a vette you scrub, etc- I just love those imperial bulkheads too much), and last time I logged in I remember my build being able to sit in a High CZ and blow stuff up with ease. I run a cutter with:
-Huge gimbled MC (overcharged, incendiary)
-2 Large gimbled MCs (both overcharged, 1 corrosive)
-2 medium turret beams (efficient thermal vent)
-2 medium gimbled beams (efficient thermal vent)
-SLF with beams
While my cutter can still laugh off any damage thrown at it, I'm running into some serious trouble actually killing anything. The beams and huge mc rip through shields with ease, but once I switch to the two large mcs+the huge mc for hull damage, It suddenly starts taking forever to kill anything.
Did MCs get changed somehow? Has there been a nerf to corrosive or incendiary rounds? Should I be using different weapons for hull damage? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
