I recently bought my Zoner char Midas.Betancore, a shiny new Zoner destroyer, and have been fooling around with various weapon setups on the server and in SP. This has led to some questions arising in my head that I thought I'd better put to some more experienced destroyer pilots that are sure to be on the forum.
**Please note, that while I found a thread on a similar theme, almost all the answers seemed to revolve the Kusari destroyer and may not be so relevant given the differences in size and agility between that ship and`the 'Fearless' class.
1. I would like my destroyer to be armed with a mixture of both anti-cap and anti-fighter weaponry and not just optimised for one role. With regards to the latter requirement I have become rather fond of the Order cruiser missile turrets, having been using a pair of them alongisde a few solaris turrets. This led me to ask, would a mass deployment of such missile turrets work? Say, 5 of them, plus two infernos and 2 razors for cap work? Is this effective or would I be unwise to go without any 'standard' turrets at all?
I have heard terms such as 'missile spamming' being bandied around.. is it effective, merely annoying or both?
2. I am rather fond of the Zoner cruiser turret, which in terms of damage output per second seems rather tasty; it does seem however to be a 'jack of all trades' and a master of none. However, I have noticed in trials that I prefer them to solaris turrets as despite having a lower rate of fire, they have the same projectile speed and do more damage per hit. Would it be unwise to keep my Zoner turrets in the place of something more specialised?
I realise there's quite a lot of ground to cover here so I'll sum up how I feel about the weaponry mentioned;
Missile turrets - I REALLY like these bad boys, the range, damage and homing ability seems ideal for blasting nippier opponents out the sky, but I'm worried about getting a bad name for myself..:unsure:
Razors and Inferno's - Nothing bad to report here, just curious as to what numbers of and setup of them are optimal.
Zoner turrets - Nice, but kinda middle-of-the-road perhaps, and I want my destroyer to be all it can be.:cool:
Big thanks if you've had the patience to read all this through and give it some thought for me, I await your learned answers.;)
