I’m really close to build a Procyon, but I need some suggestions. I thought about using 2 capacitors for extra damage/RoF, 2 shields, 1 hull and 1 computer, but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to use this ship. I need help!
You can try everything out and settle for the best combo, there’s a refit option that lets you do that. Otherwise, it only depends on your play style how you want it to be.
Heat-sinks are not available for r8 Destroyers, so it is either Pulse Dischargers or Infra-reds in CPU or dmg

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Then I’ll probably do 1 engine, 3 shields, 1 hull and 1 cpu for reduced spread.

The party is always at the ru place… lol
I use 1 engine (for aux generator, because, you know, gotta go fast), 1 capacitor, 3 hulls and 1 cpu, but consider swapping CPU and cap for 2 shields. This destro is quite squishy.

Wait a second, I checked and I found that Pulse Dischargers are rank 8, so at least in theory I can equip it to my rank 8 destro
That is what i said - you can equip Pulse Dischargers, so if you want to boost your dmg you have 2 options Pulse Dischargers or Infrared Scanners
But the thing is that Pulse Dischargers are pretty damn bad way to improve your dmg on a Destroyer, especially on an Empire one.
I just built a Procyon, and am quite pleased with my build.
The Procyon is best suited for high speed with moderate tank. I used 2 engines, 1 capacitor, 2 shield, 1 hull, 0 cpu.
With this fit, I go quite fast (344 m/s right now at syn lvl 6, and I go about 400 m/s with a command graviscanner active), and I can tank fairly well on my shield. This is designed to be a pest that can run in, do a decent amount of damage with the main guns, and then wormhole out (or run out).

Never
I highly suggest the bottom R8 implant for recirculating energy. You want as much energy income as possible, so that one is a lifesaver in combat. Also, I just did a test (without all Mk4 mods, mind you) with my Procyon that allowed it to fly at over 580m/s. I did not change implants for this build, just the module layout.

You mean R7. Top R8 is the most useful for destroyers.
so it is either Pulse Dischargers or Infra-reds in CPU or dmg
There is no other dmg module in Cpu than infrared on rank 8
On topic: try using 3 shield 3 hull for max tank ~350k survivability or 3 capacitor 3 cpu for max dmg.

3 shield and 3 hull make no sense, why even bother building the Proceon to use it as a full on tank, wanna do full tank go Archon
In any case, back to topic, while invincible is made for damage, procyon is made for almost everything but in a balanced way and the archon is probably the best allrounder as a tank and similar, therefore its a bit difficult to give a proper procyon build because it can be made to suit most combos but not dmg as invincible or tank as archon.

Well the thing is, due to the passive bonus on Archon, technically it has highest dmg potential
