3.23 Bounty Hunting in Corsair: Omnisky XV vs AD5B

[@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229]

Why do ballistics and lasers take the same time to kill if ballistics go straight through shields? I've tried my Inferno's size 7 ballistic gatling and Im surprised how long it takes? Is it the travelling speed of the rounds ?

[@OldManInRecliner]

The ballistic gatling has a .5 spread vs .35 spread with the laser cannons, so more shots missing with the ballistics. That is my understanding right now anyway. ;)

@@OldManInRecliner I guess that's why they say the Inferno is better against big ships ?

@@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229 Ballistics have their damage reduced by the shields by a random amount between like 5-30%. Then their damage is further reduced by hull armor. So while shields are up, ballistics will do less damage per hit than laser weapons, but they will be damaging the shield from the first shot as opposed to pulling down all the shield hp before they can do any damage.

m7as better than omnisky i think. I did research from erkul and decided that m7as are better. I can explode small ships with 2 hits.

[@volkanbicer7353]

m7as have 10 thousand burst damage

[@OldManInRecliner]

I will definitely check them out. I was going off of a couple sources saying the Omnisky were the chosen this round. I was looking to compare to my favorite of AD5B. I will definitely check out the ships default m7a.
