Yes, it’s me again. In my quest to play every ship type to find which playstyle I like, I have picked up the Neuron Zealot as my intro to Guard frigates from the Machete. My first math was a mess but the second one I was 2nd highest scorer on my wining team. This was with a Positron Cannon while I used the Coil Mortars in the first match. My impressions of the Coil Mortar is that it seems to be a inaccurate slow firing but heavy hitting weapon. My impression of the Positron Cannon is that it seems to do more damage to shields, being an EM weapon but it really struggles with finishing off enemies, which, normally isn’t a bad thing as I’ve softened them up for my Kinetic weapon equipped teammates, but in situations where my team has all fled or died, this is a big problem. But then with the coil mortar, I can’t hit faster targets and some Tackler’s at all, so I feel I’m not fulfilling my role of softening up enemies and drawing fire away form my team… Until get to the Heavy Blaster, which I have heard much praise about, which weapon should I use?
Yeah that’s the problem with lower ranks. Less flexibility. I would recommend trying out lasers as a starter. They are more all-round weapons. If you have good aim, you could be able to hit inties. Also in low tiers: if you are using positrons, use cruise missiles to finish off slow moving targets one they get low on hull.
In higher tiers, yes the heavy blaster is very nice if you can get the spread down sufficiently.
