**THE WINTERS WOLVES ARE LOOKING FOR ALLIES**
13th Legion, Turns to barbarism to try and achieve galactic recognition.

The current situation is this
Yurchikhin Ring has successfully resisted UA Bombing thanks to all those who supported the Meta Alloy Retrieval Operation. This Operation was a lightning last ditch attempt in the last 24 hours well done all of you.

We have another issue however The Winters Wolves are at War in Sapites. Yesterday we had a 20% lead today we are -15.9% in the hole. Obviously the 13th Legion has discovered this war and intends for us to lose. Any assistance today to turn the tides of this war would be appreciated to avoid giving the 13th any victories

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Terms of your surrender have already been sent to you. If you want to turn this into a larger war you are free to do so, but we will render your terrorist-assisting, federation-aligned back to the stone age.

Bought and A-rated a Fer-de-Lance, then took it into a conflict zone to teach some pirates a lesson. Felt like I was coming home for the first time in my life.

It's definitely among the best of the combat ships (some would say the best). What weapon loadout did you go with out of interest?

4 medium pulse lasers and huge multicannon for now. It's still being finetuned as a loadout.

I usually go for beam lasers, are pulse better?

Really just depends on your preferences and the ship you're flying. I've done four beams and four pulses on my FDL. Beams are a bit more damage intensive but you gotta watch your heat and WEP draw. Pulses are easier on the ship and can sustain longer. I think they have better piercing too.

There's also different effects available. Heals being popular with beams and scramble/emissive for pulses.

Huge multis are a bit underwhelming, try a PA or cannon instead.

Did a test with my brother with a comparable damage output with gimballed beams, pulse and burst, on a MOVING target:
at 800m distance, and 1600 meter! The target was moving around with a constant speed and constant intervals

Surprise, the damage is about the same.
Beam slides easier "off" the target, making it less efficicient, therefor less effective,
Burst is about 10% more effective below 800 meter, above that pulse is slightly more damage, all measured over a timeframe of 5sec and 10 seconds

again, based on moving target.

It will depend on your combat style

I concur, we did a similar test but with 600, 1000 and 1600 meter...on a moving target-FAS with 1000MJ shield.....and the output of the all gimballed lasers were more or less 10 MJ/s..but the results were quite surprisingly similar

Corrosive multi-cannon pairs really nicely with four beams on a FDL. Very nice if you're looking to stay out for a while.  Beams until the shields go down, splash them with corrosive, continue beaming the power plant.

I prefer beams, because it's the future, they make it seem like it's the future, and they are cool to look at!
