User blog:Muzic Beaner/Weapon Pairing


 * I've posted this thread as a reply in the Forum, but i thought I'd make it a Blog to give everyone whom is not following the thread a chance to read it and benefit from it*

I've found that pairing your weapons by DPS is only have the trick, FIRING RANGE/DISTANCE is the other half. I always try to have 2 long-range  and 2 short-range primaries installed on my ship, reason being is that not always will your targets be near, or far away constantly they fly around randomly and tend to speed away as you shoot at them and they become critical, so you need a short-range powerful primary for closeup fighting and have a long-range primary so that they are still within your reach as the speed away.

The following are very nice primary weapon setups that I continuesly cycle through:

SETUP 1 - 2 Raccoons on the inner cannons, 2 Icarus Heavy on the outer cannons

SETUP 2 - 2 Icarus Heavy on the outter cannons, 2 Dark Matter Lasers on the inner cannons.

SETUP 3 -2 Raccoons on the outter cannons, 2 Tyrfing Blasters on inner cannons

SETUP 4 - 2 Mimung Blasters on outter cannons, 2 Dark Matter Lasers on inner cannons

SETUP 5  -  This is the most effective one aside from the famous 4 Raccoon setup:

2 Raccoons on outter cannons, 2 Dark Matter Lasers on inner cannons

SETUP 6 - * (added 02/25//2014) - Mass Drivier MD 12 on inner cannons and  Icarus Heavy or 2 Raccoons on the outter cannons. THIS IS ONE IS KILLER!

TIP: Its also recomended a Narai Overcharge is equiped to enhance your weapons' effectiveness

*NOTE : These setups have been tried and tested in EXTREME mode, so if thery work wonders for me they should definetly deliver great results in NORMAL mode.
