Is Scattergun really that good? Star Citizen Gladius with 3X Scatterguns

Back in the days pre-planets, 4 pyrobursts on a saber and you basically won the game

[@xotx4291]

I had no idea there was a time this game had no planets. lol I just assumed it always had the Stanton System, with the planets all along. Where did you buy ships? I assume stations used to sell them, if there were no planets.

I think ballistic scatterguns are better because you can penetrate the shields directly and do damage to the hull

[@Cob-mouth]

I am not sure, because shields considerably reduce the hull damage of ballistic weapons, more than before. Consequently, you need more hits than with lasers, and you might run out of ammo before destroying a C2. The optimum would be a mix, in my opinion.

i think ballistic scatterguns are better because apocalypse arms makes the best looking guns in game

[@gr_egg]

So I actually tried both, if you are fighting AI definitely take lasers, you never run out of ammo and they are shit at manoeuvring so you can stay on target longer, but if you're planning on fighting a player you need to go full ballistic. It's impossible to stay on target long enough to damage even 2xs1 shields substantially, and if you're accurate with 3x predators you can 4-5 shot a titan.

Few tips on your flying bud, Disable the camera shake until you get a much better feel for the aiming with M&K (Mouse & Keyboard). Also lower your V-Joy settings for the mouse in the normal game settings tab. it will be MUCH easier for you to keep things on target for you when flying.
