Yes - more Ion-Ds will destroy equipment faster. Although Ion-Ds appear to fire as a continuous stream they do have a rate of fire (126 'shots' per minute) so, for example, installing 2 will double the rate at which equipment is destroyed compared to using only 1.thecrazybear wrote:should I just mount one? or does having more have any effect besides draining your energy quicker?
IMO the best strategy for Ion-D use is to reserve them solely for destroying equipment & use different weapons for suppressing shields, since Ion-Ds are rather inefficient for that role (e.g. they need almost as much energy as HEPT but only do about 1/3 of the shield damage).
Consequently I generally use Ion-D in combination with EBC (or missiles) as these need virtually no energy to inflict shield damage, then switch to Ion-D as soon as the target's shields fail to fry the target's equipment. Then (when the low energy warning sounds) bug out, wait for the energy banks to recharge, then hit them again with EBC to strip shields followed by Ion-D to fry equipment, repeating as necessary until the target is disarmed.
