I don’t mean to interrupt or put things off course here, but are not ions on a gunship better if you simply use + damage - range on your gun and then simply shoot at the enemy for 1.6 seconds, stop,(simply move your gun away from the target?)and then start again?
I tried all the guns on the Nukem. To me, the Assault Rails are just the best. Singularities felt odd, Ions are just godawful for me and the Gauss is meh… To me, Assault Rails gave me the most fun in the game in that ship.
But that is the result of your kind of gameplay.
I was talking about those two ships in general.
When you’ve a good mouse & zoom you can melt everything with the Ions very accurate.
The Gauss is just too weak for a gunship, that’s right.
And the best ship for singularity is still the Wolf-M, what is useless now cuz of R9 vs T4 reasons.

Like i said, it depends on the kind of gameplay.
If you suck at aiming you shouldn’t use lasers, another point is that everyone goes on thermal resistance and a smart interceptor might be hard to hit with them.
Assault Railguns are good because they are 1. Kinetic, 2. Projectile, 3. Rapid Fire.
-
No one really goes for high kinetic resis, especially not average pilots.
-
Makes you able to get kills very easy.
-
Increases the chance to hit a fast moving target.
But still, it depends on what weapon you like most.
So the question is what is an Icicle skin?
Rakza was trying to buy it but it looks out of prize…
hey resi! I need nukem build, can you showe me nice one?
I’ll show the one I’ve used a bunch of times trying the new Cooling Engine module.
You can overdrive and spam the Railgun without overheating the weapon for the whole duration.
From what I’ve seen, PvE Bots don’t care at all about the EM Scatter Field or other modules that disable lock-on/targeting, they’ll just keep shooting you anyway.
They do, Milfeulle posted a video about soloing all T5 PvEs with Archdragon and you can see that bots ignored him, only bots coming close in range would attack.
Welcome to the party
May I request the Wakizashi R? ^ ^

(Unless I really, really like it >.,> then I’ll post a link to your guide from mine since it’s supposed to be on my ‘current’ builds.)
If you need explanation ask for it, I guess you’re veteran enough to know why I put what I put in each module.
Proton walls and J2 implant are for pussies…

Just because that is how YOU play, it doesn’t mean it is a STANDARD for everyone else
Nukem - Bubbles (granted there are plenty Ion ESB nukems, but i suspect they just don’t have DEgle)
DEgle - Ions/ARails
Gauss - personal preferences.
If I may request two builds of the same ship, both for Ion Lightbringer:
Max Damage Build
Balanced Build (mix of range and damage)

Ok I’m a horrible Ion user and my Lightbringer is 2/10 synergy but this is how I’d do it.
edit: you shouldn’t follow this at all ^
I don’t know if this would actually work. There are a bunch of experienced Ion users that could give me some feedback though.
Optimal range man, it is all about optimal range

3 Ions would have give me +1k on maximum range in the first build. Would indeed do better than some xxxx crit though.

I’ll remember that when I am stunning this shiznit out of you with my nEWB ECM.

I am glad you have learned what that means, always good to see my efforts help people.

I know what sarcasm is already. I didn’t need someone on the Internet teaching me the ways of verbal fighting when I am the only male in a house with 4 females.
Nice use of sarcasm though. I applaud you.

To be honest, both builds don’t make much sense to me
1st one is not gonna even tickle the target, and i don’t see practical application for it
2d has some flaws on math part and how it supposed to be plaid part
Yes, about your “Full damage build”…
Come on, you prefer 1 pulse discharger above 1 heatsink on an ion emitter? You always come at me with energy stability and you put smth with almost the same dps buff as the heatsink on that ship which makes an energy unstable ship more energy unstable.
Genious.
Your hull setup is wondering me as well, but okay.
I can deal with the other stuff.
PS: Energy Recuperation shields are awesome on that ship!

Since this thread is to help newbies I’d appreciate you showing a proper build so I can delete mine and don’t prejudice them.

If you’re going to call me genius at least spell it properly.

I criticize your builds, you call me an a$s. And we are good. :D
Anyways, the dmg build
Put a Heatsink or Multiphase
drop 2 horizons and either 2x infrareds (for higher average dmg) or 2x coprocessors (for Aiming overcharge burst but lower average dmg)
Gunship with curved Ions is played similar to Bubble Guns, but with a little more range, it is practically a diver. Most of the time you will be fighting under 2000 range, and that is your goal for Optimal range.
Implants (just to have them mentioned, since you didn’t screed implants)
E2, F6, R11 (personal taste), E12, E13, E14, E15
Oh and in shield put utility rather than simple thermal resists, i.e. Cap volume, speed, adaptives, or even energy regeneration (but it is only works when shields are up, so when you are in the phase of gtfo from dive, and have no shields, kinda useless, especially considering that you gonna dive under overdrive that will keep your energy toped up)
I thought about Compact Shield Generator also for shield. Since I always use Cheetah II except for Engineers, Submatter Shield could be also pretty good.
Would something like this do the job?
