I see the Maelstrom gives bonus rate of fire to Large Projectile Turrets.
Currently all I can fit are t1 medium projectile turrets, however I'll have the training to fly a maelstrom in about 3 hours. Would it be worth it to put the aforementioned mediums on the thing or is that a gigantic waste of a ship.
I'm not really sure how to ask , so if that didn't make any sense, Medium Arty on a Maelstrom , yes or no
Edit: Thought it was damage bonus until I checked just now |

Yes, but only if you use officer damage mods with it. How much are you looking to spend?

t1 large are better on a mel
The only major drawback is the crazed notion that the inventory would look so much better if merely rearranged ONE MORE TIME.

No.
Use large guns or a ship that gets a bonus to mediums, like the hurricane |

Don't be in a rush to move up. Bigger dose not always = better. And sitting in a ship is not the same as being good with that ship.
Short answer: No |

Look carefully at the bonuses. Except in very very very very very very limited circumstances (which may or may not exist) you should only fit a ship with the weapons that it is bonused for.
So Battleships are bonused for large weapons. Fit large weapons only. |

Generally speaking, the only time you will want to fit undersized weapons (i.e. smaller than the bonus the ship gets) to any ship is if you are flying a specialized/niche/weird fit that leaves you no fitting room for them. Preferably, these fits will not be overly concerned with their damage output because it will likely be less-than-stellar. If you simply lack the skills to use and/or fit class-appropriate weapons, you're trying to fly the ship too soon.
Train up those gunnery skills.

Imo the only BS that works really well without large guns/missiles is the Dominix.
Why?
Because the Domi rocks. |

I can't think of anything I'd use a Medium Turret Maelstrom for, except maybe L2 missions. In which case the Hurricane is just a better ship all around for those. |

Still, one should never assume. What if he was making some bait ship with downsized guns to hit smaller targets? |

I suppose I should have said it's for PvP. I fly a medium/small turret mixed Hurricane right now for low level missions |

You are most certainly not ready to fly a battleship against against other players. That Maelstrom will just become a comedy killmail for someone like me. I'd recommend you start pvping in frigates in one of the faction warfare zones and go from there. |

A medium arty Mael in level 3's may not be too bad for a newb. The damage may blow, but it'll be pretty much unkillable. |

So now we've established it's for pvp, what kind of pvp are we doing?
Because I've seen comedy killmails where small ships engage a large one and get obliterated because the large one had small guns fitted. |
