Plasma slug reduces thermal load by 40%!

So does, super penetrator and feedback cascade.

But 80 shots seem very few...

Episparh the BluntShe have fear of material gathering

Yuna SakashiroI know that the efficiency of thermal vent depends on the beam's main modification, but does the beam's size have an impact, too? If possible I would add a small or medium long range beam that doesn't drain my PD too fast.

DemonolightIt seems more practical to just have mats for reloads

But it isn't.
Imagine trying to reload all 4 of your rails one by one while trying not to get hit while doing so. Basically Impossible.

DemonolightI've run this build, just with normal rails not hammers, no problem imagining it. The build should have any opponent dead or crippled long before ammo becomes an issue. If you are under heavy fire from multiple opponents, then as with any build a retreat has to be considered. The way i see it, you build it the way it suits you, you give up something for plasma slug, and you give up something for super pen and cascade, in my opinion though it's more situational in for the later.

GryphnnWhile Saka is talking about PvP, you are obviously talking about PvE where you could ofc easily reload after your threat has been eliminated and move on to the next target. But then you could just reload at a station for convinience.
This wouldn't work for PvP since it's one fight and you would have to reload in the middle of it unless your opponent is a total sleeper that will almost never happen.
Also having plasma slugs you can risk more shots even if you think they will not hit.

Episparh the BluntHm, gathering materials is not such a pain if you combine that with other activities and keep collecting even if you do not need them. The problem comes only if you collect as much as you need just before you need them.

Unfortunately, for raw mats the options are limited and IMO boring.

Yuna SakashiroI fired a few shots with the unengineered railguns. Each quadruple shot adds about 47% heat. If I fire again before heat has dropped to 52%, there will be module damage.

Epi's solution to add MRPs is an interesting one, as it would allow me to keep the PA on the huge hardpoint. The other option is to replace the PA with a thermal vent beam. I know that the efficiency of thermal vent depends on the beam's main modification, but does the beam's size have an impact, too? If possible I would add a small or medium long range beam that doesn't drain my PD too fast.
