Ships What weapons do you prefer using on the Fer-De-Lance?

[Zoltah-Talion]

The all multicannon FDL, whether fixed or even gimballed is definitely very effective. I've also seen a fixed huge beam with 4 frags be surprisingly good, so although the plasma/rail combo is still the meta, other weapon configurations can work.

Thanks, I really must experiment a bit more with my build. And practise more! 07

4 medium railguns, 1 Huge plasma accelerator. All linked to the same button.

One shot is all I need.

Fixed projectiles and hitscan on the same trigger is a bad idea.

I like to use whatever weapons kill them the quickest


Oh you meant what weapons do I 'fit' to a FDL.... None as I don't fly it

I recently switched to a 5 * efficient PA loadout, and damn, that hurts. If I hit that is

I’ve been running a full multicannon loadout for quit some time. Fully engineered it can pack a punch and gives one the Dakka-Dakka fix. However, that said i do like the multi/pulse laser combo. Pulses still deliver when the energy has been depleted so it’s a pew-pew all the way.

I recently re-armed my FDL.

It was

1x C4 Overcharged Autoloader Multicannon
2x C2 Overcharged Autoloader Multicannons
2x C2 Efficient Burst Lasers, one with Scramble Spectrum and one with Phase Sequence

I re-worked it by changing the C4 MC to Corrosive and swapped the burst lasers for Efficient Thermal Vent Beams. Better against shields of course, runs much cooler and the corrosive does a better job against the hull of course.

Scramble Spectrum and Phase Sequence may be good mods but the effect in my build was small. Phasing Sequence may have done 2 or 3% hull damage before the shields fall (depends on target of course). Scramble Spectrum I couldn't tell what was affected. I'm sure it's there somewhere but I didn't see it.

The new setup eats shields far faster, and the corrosive means hulls go faster too. Happy with the new configuration. It's not as exotic, but kills ships faster. Good enough for me.
