Much depends on if you plan to use them IS or OOS. As I like to take directly part in battles, I strongly prefer an heavier anti-fighter loadout: Thus, compared to the setup suggested by Fureimuu before me, I put anticapitals on front, left1 and right1, while flaks go back, left2 and right2. This way the platform has good defensive coverage all around while still having a decent anticap potential (it's 24/24 anticap/flaks on a large platform), which can make the difference IS, where a couple M6s in a platform's blind spot could wreak havok. OOS ships' agility and size is pretty much not a factor, so an heavier anti-cap loadout would be preferable.Ragemaster9999 wrote: ↑Thu, 8. Nov 18, 18:57Thank you everyone. I have found the transporter device and equipped my naked orbital weapons platform with a 2G shield. Now trying to figure out how to best outfit this badboy. Any suggestions? So many laser options!
Same goes for the actual weapons: PPCs and similar weapons are a bit better OOS, while IS gauss cannons hit a lot more thanks to their fast bullet speed (although with a very small hitbox, so don't think they can really hit anything smaller than an M6 consistently) and as such at the end of the day they tend to accumulate more dps. Personally I don't use gauss cannons for the simple fact I don't like their effect much, PPCs feel more "imposing" to me, and style trumps efficiency in my empire
