Good Gunboat Layout

[Robert]

hi all, i just bought a corsair gunboat, but iam completely new with gunboats, becouse i always fly a transport/heavy fighter.

right now i need a gunboat layout wich fits corsair/order roleplay.
but i was wondering, wich set up is the best for:

-All round

-Fighters

-Caps

if someone could help me out with this, then it would be great.

thanks

Ahh, corsair hmm? must be a Corsair breadbox

Well then its easy, for all around:

7 corsair turrets and one basic missile turret

for fighters:

1 or 2 missile turrets and 6 Solaris turrets.

Never mix turret types.

[Robert]

does that include order weapons? becouse i noticed the order gunboat turret uses less energy with almost the same damage.

btw does somebody have a class 8 turret list?

Use the corsair one, trust me.
never use battlerazors or infernos, mortairs or such, they are not needed. (well, not that you can mount mortairs on a gb)

*looks at the HM on his Osiris* Huh. Seem to me you're wrong about the Mortars

You can easily mix weapon types, but it *MIGHT* throw off your aim against fighters. However, the speed of Gunboat turret projectiles are so high, it doesn't matter too much. My LH Gunship uses 4 Outcast, 1 Cerb, 1 Missile. However, I have not a clue how to arm a Corsair GB... Since it has 2 extra turrets. In thoery, I could see a few options:

Anti-Fighter/All-Around:
2 Order
2 Corsair
2 Solaris
2 Missiles

OR
8 Corsair/Solaris

Anti-Cap:
8 Solaris

OR
7 Order 1 Cerb
(You're going to drain your generator QUICK, though)


Once again, these are only in theory... And can very well be ineffective.

1 missile, for throwing off the heavier caps aim and helping vs the fighters, as well as 7 order, for killing caps and fighters.

I have 4 guns and 2 missiles on my hacker gunship.... I was killed only 2 times by something smaller than cruiser (hah cruiserkids got me only once :P)

you have 2 more slots... since you are new in this class, good idea is 2 another missiles (because as newb you are easy kill for bombers)

Why not six guns and two missiles? More than a pair of missiles is pretty much overkill. With six guns, he still has enough punch to take most enemy gunboats (other than the Scorpion or gunboats with quality forward gun mounts, if those exist).

i would use, 1-2 missle turrets, 2 Order and the rest corsair turrets, as you are a corsair using their GB use their weapons mainly.

may i reccomend you buy you'reself a Titan aswell? the amount of Gunboats in gamma nowadays has increased by over 75% and thats not good for RP, as Titans are the backbone in the corsairs fighting force.

Thanks.
