Hi there, some time ago i think i saw a post somewhere on Projectile weapons on amarr ships, im just wondering how effecient this is, i can see the bonus's of not having the cap drain, but if i were to fit 4 L artillary onto my Geddon would it potentially outrange and outdamage my Geddon with Tachs ?

It wouldnt outdamage tachs except in the *very* short term of a fight. Artillery DPS is very low except for its initial burst damage. And tachs have good burst damage too.
It's most worthwhile on an Apoc, where your bonuses are really not relevant to what weapons you want to go with.
Though if you want to try something other than beams, I'd suggest rails. Theyre much better than artillery, in general.

I think you would win the first 4.5 seconds in fight with that setup
after that people will laugh at you

Can I just say: fitting wrong race weapons, is just a bad, bad idea.
Sure projectiles don't use cap, and amarr ships (rarely) give any sort of dmg bonus -- but amarr ships don't give projectiles any bonuses either.
Occasionally, an apoc with 3x tachs and 5x 1400's will make a really funny sniper ship -- but, really -- rule of thumb: race of ship = race of gun.
I realize this point was already made in this thread. But I would like to further this to extend to all ships and guns. Sign below.

The way projectile turrets are balanced requires them to be mounted on a double damage bonus ships, otherwise they'll be sucking compared to amarr or gallente (infact, afaik, the suckiest turrets in game "as is") Now, the only other race's ship that you can mount projectile turrets somewhat successfully on is the Apoc due to its 8 turret slots, which, afaik, if you don't have Minmatar BS 5, outdamages the Tempest.

I've been pondering trying an apoc with 8 1400mms for a fleet setup.
