Hello everyone, ive been looking at the forums and have a question i cant see a good answer for. If a ship has no bonus for a certain gun type like the dominix, could i put artillery on it just as well as rails? As long as the skills are trained would that make a difference? Sorry in advance if this is dumb

No matter, I've used projectile turrets on both the Dominix and the Myrmidon myself. You can on any ship, of course, it's jus a question of
a) fitting, and
b) wasting bonuses, if any.

Actually in that case it makes no difference. As Long as the weapons fit with the General purpose you build the ship for it´s fine.

You can put whatever you want on it.

I personally like Pulse Laser Myrmidons.

So artillery on an armageddon will be fine, love the look of that ship and love how artillery looks too

When there is no bonus to any weapon system, it is fine to use any that will fit the purpose.

That is why in the old-era you generally saw projectiles on punishers even though they were Amarr. It freed up A LOT of capacitor not needed for guns to be used in tank...

I faintly remember some nullsec fleet doctrines where they would put artillery on Abaddons despite the ship bonuses. Probably had something to do with the Abaddon's godawful capacitor.

I'm just guessing here but could have had to do with the high alpha of arties or maybe needed explosive damage type for some reason.

Though do play a bit with Pyfa or EFT first before training for it.
Artillery tends to require more powergrid than other long range weapons, making it harder to fit, especially on armor tanked ships.
