He was clean in this system until he attacked you (from the comms I'm guessing a bounty hunter), so all you got was the tiny 'assault' bounty. If he'd spawned as a wanted criminal in an Elite 'conda it'd be more like 200k+ But then you're flying a well engineered Corvette so you probably know this already :)
I'd never noticed before that the c4 beams are actually 4 seperate lasers rapidly switching, like with the c3 ones. they literally just kept adding more c2 beams to each module
It looks like that Elite Ancondra has A7 shields 595units, with A6 shield banks. 70 DPS for 2X efficient beam lasers. Under 600m the shield should come down in about 7 seconds. It would take around 100second to take down my prismatic shields of my cutter with 25% thermal resistance. And about 45second to take down the shield of my Ancondra.
His SCB's are certainly annoying. I wanted to see if I could get a continuously firing double Huge Efficient Beams going with the PD. Almost made it and think it's good enough. Not sure what I'll put on the rest of the HP's. MC's or beams. Dislike the MC's as they run out of ammo too fast.
My aim is not good enough for fixed :-) I find that my TOS on smaller targets to be better with gimballed. Chaffs are annoying, usually I just wait them out or if I get impatient, re-target and the gimbals works like fixed.
Fixed long range isnt really needed most fights will play out within 2 km and above 3 km it becomes really hard to actually hit anything with beamlasers anyway even with microgimaballing i would say for laser weapons time on target counts way more then raw damage especially because they are hitscan weapons
@@Coolgamer400 ah, I may be misremembering. I think I was trying to make long range beams work, which is unfortunately impossible. The weapon-focused distro makes it work okay, but you still run out of charge pretty quickly (about 19 seconds)

I’m mainly PvE and went with 2 huge fixed beams on mine, with engineering for overcharged and thermal vent. The other five hard points have overcharged gimbaled multi-cannons, one with corrosive, the rest with incendiary. Enemy ships don’t last very long against this thing!

i recommend long range rails rails with feedback cascade. this would have made the video about a minute shorter. anyways, what i am scratching my head about is what effect you have on your power distributor? weapon focused and super capacitors?
frick dps, Turreted weapons are great, the only real downside to them is the lower damage and i will still have better dps than with fixed or gimballed hardpoints since i dont have to aim nearly as much and they always fire constantly
This. I just swapped my 3x Gimballed Beam Lasers on top of my Krait for 3x Turreted ones. All 6 are Efficient 5 with Thermal Vent. I am melting the same targets in half the time with the turreted ones, simply because they keep firing while I'm turning around. As an added bonus, I can now focus all of my effort on landing shots with the pair of Short Range Plasma Slug Rails. My accuracy with those has gone up at least 30%. That alone would close the DPS gap. Turreted beams also draw way, way less power from the distributor. The 6A distributor on my Krait never bottoms out even with just 3 pips now. EDIT: That said, OP can't use them. There are no size 4 turrets. Point still stands though, just not particularly relevant to this exact video.
just get fixed beams, the huge hardpoints have good convergence with each other (and also with the 2 smalls). together with g5dd drives you can keep on target easily. the mediums and large can be gimballed as they have horrible convergence and do not really match up with any of the main hardpoints.
im sorry but this is noob one :) why? 1st - use fixed weapon (better dps and lower capacitor drain), u can use 4 fixed beam on corvette (2huge+ 2small), which give u 52+52+13+13=130 dps (its only 4 weapons , without others 3+2x2 sizes. so well engineered corvette kill any shileds in a seconds (totally my corvette full laser 4fixed beam+3gimbal burst do 250dps to the shields). Killing elite conda is about 20 seconds, without targeting Power Plant :D THATS a damage. But not one u show in this video :)
was trying to find elite conda for u :) its not easy :) So i make just some kills. VS elite conda not much difference. They die almost same as dangerous one. Maybe some seconds later. U can see its not very hard to aim small ships, even without FA off. So much damage just blow them up :D ua-cam.com/video/gQ2vA5ke-PQ/v-deo.html
This is like that IQ bell curve meme. Everyone right in the middle thinks fixed are always better, when it is true that gables in the hands of a skilled pilot always provide more time in target while allowing less damage taken, outpacing fixed weapons quickly.
Idk who frontier think they are but first they cancel odessy for console then they remove it from the Xbox game pass? Like my broke ass self can’t afford 20 pound to play a game Ive hapely played free for ages might kms 🥲

Unfortunately this doesn't work with the new engineering. Even a weapon-focused distributor will still discharge the capacitor with 4 pips.
according to coriolis.io, the capacitor will not discharge. Even with 3,5pips it will hold over 2 minutes.

Smaller ships get killed within seconds if fixed shot like they just drop

Come on! Efficient at 2km does barely any damage! next time, switch those out for some long range ones, or stay at 900 meters the entire fight.
