Some help needed for a new Zoner Destroyer pilot

[Tenacity]

I flew a zoner destroyer as an order pilot for a fairly long while, and tested out almost all of the 'special' guns.

I say with full confidence, go with an entire standard turret loadout - either 9 order or 9 zoner cruiser turrets. The 'special' guns arent worth the energy they take. learn how to chain fire with normal turrets and you'll fare just as well against capship and fighter alike.

Bombers will still rape you though, you're a very large target and most bombers are manuverable enough to dodge your fire. Missile turrets just dont have the same effect for cruisers that they have for gunboats in anti-fighter/bomber defense.

That's a tad more at the anti-cap with anti-fighter capabilities.

6 Zoner Turrets.
2 Order Missile Turrets.
1 Heavy Mortar.

However, the above is a lot more anti-fighter.

cant put heavy mortars on cruisers, they're class 10.
