The answer to that question depends on many factors, which is why we talked about mid slots and your skills. It is not a case of AC > arty in all cases. For some players and play styles AC > arty but for others arty> AC. For me it's AC all the way but then I fly a Mach and have many millions of skill points.


Machariel -> autocannons
Maelstrom -> artillery
Vargur -> autocannons

Another fact to be considered here is ammo consumption. With autocannons you use a lot of ammo. Machariel is ok with it as its pure dps will compensate. Vargur is also ok, as it has only 4 turrets so 50% less ammo consumption. Maelstrom has no benefit. With his skills I doubt he can make ISK fast enough to simply ignore this.

Forget numbers, play with ideas, look for solutions.

Oh yes, all blacked out fit, that seems legit. Now share price tag on that to leave us in complete awe.

Use your brain and figure it out.

Shocked

I've heard the Drake called a lot of things, but fragile wasn't the f-word I was expecting.

T2 autos on the Mael are good if your shooting Barrage at Angels, not so good if your shooting at anything else. Take a serious look at 1200s if you plan to venture outside of Angel space and make sure you max rapid firing and fit plenty of gyro's, TE's and TC's.

Don't listen to these noobs, it's really easy to make a perma-run XL shield booster on a freaking BATTLESHIP without sacrificing dps. Non-permanent repping will likely get you killed when you'll get the socket closed error.

Fit or it didn't happen.
