Even worse, I deviated from my own plan and engineered for rapid fire instead of double shot, which has a wider spread and eats ammo even faster.
Rapid fire has the highest sustained DPS but is recommended by virtually no one, so it made sense to try that first before settling on a build. It does work great against Anacondas. I also want to try some of the debuff effects, especially drag munitions. That FDL without boost capability would have been a sitting duck. You probably noticed that I did not boost during the entire fight, except when I took a break to synthesize ammo. I found it funny that the FDL died literally the moment I ran out of ammo again.
As I said, frags are not ToT weapon to need sustained DPS. It is alpha strike weapon. It is clear by your video that you have plenty of time to reload and too short window to apply damage.
I thought to save you my comments about your flying and pip management.

Episparh the BluntAs I said, frags are not ToT weapon to need sustained DPS. It is alpha strike weapon. It is clear by your video that you have plenty of time to reload and too short window to apply damage.
The time window is long enough for three shots, sometimes more, thanks to screening shell. With overcharged I may be able to land a single more powerful shot instead, but I may also miss entirely. Will it be better? That's what I'm trying to find out.
Episparh the BluntI thought to save you my comments about your flying and pip management.
I keep hearing that I manage my pips wrong, but mostly from people who don't fly Couriers. I fly that ship with 4/0/2 in combat because I have plenty of speed but weak shields and no hull. I can't afford to get shot or rammed while SYS has less than 4 pips.

But at least I can give you another hint:
Distributor Draw:
0.2405 MW x3
Weapons Capacity
22.8 MW
Weapons Recharge
4.06 MJ/s
Have you tried with less pips to WEP. It is clearly visible in the video that you have plenty of time WEP at 2 and weapons are at max AKA waste of power distributor potential.

I agree, 4/1/1 appears viable with this build. Might be a little easier to turn and chase the FDL. I'll test it.

This is MUCH better!
Didn't expect that much of a difference. Found another 'dangerous' FDL and still had 111 ammo by the time it died.For the discussions about the community, other stuff related to the game like astrophysics and so on please use the General talk thread.
