Intrested what you guys put in the high-slots of your meg for npc hunting? Are you going with lasers or hybs? Lasers are nice because of the no amo needs, but I somehow feel I "waste" the meg if not using hybs. Anyone can help me out of this ?

you are a fool to use anything other than hybrids on a megathron.
If you don't and use projectiles and lasers, you are throwing away free bonuses.
If you really need lasers, get a ammarr BS. Because obviously again...free bonuses.

Any combination of 425's and 250 protos. Make use of your 2 launcher pts aswell. A 250 proto is only slightly behind a stock 425 (which is probably what you can get your hands on). Find a combination of the two that suite your style best.

Did you really try chaining 40k's with that setup with the new NPCs? Really possible to fight 10 at close range?

Bonuses make no diff concidering a palyer with lvl 2 Large energy beam skill and lvl 3 surgical strike (with no damage mods) can get 200+ avg hits with the tach beam (I use them on my Megathron). Large ammo is still way to big for hunting npc pirates in deep space. Lasers work out great and do more damge per shot than jubrid ever will.

425mm rails still suck even after balancing , large ammo sizes mean i can not sustain continuous fire for over 1 hour and i have to pay for it (buildin it still involves payin)
For NPC huntin Lasers rule, i can do more damage usin dual beam lasers on my megathron than with the 425's. ( i do have some "modal" versions of this weapon tho  no not tellin you where i relieved a bs of these)And i don't have to keep returnin to base to restock ammo.
Best to sell the megathron(worse lvl2 bs imo) get an apoc, better in almost every dept.
These are my opinions i'm entitled to em and only apply for PvE , PvP is a whole different ballgame of which i have lil experience

Boneca i tend to agree with u, Beams are the best weapons for pretty much any purpose now  And unfortunatally 425mm rails really are not much better than they were, they still have a lot of trouble hitting targets closer than 20k. Tachs on the other hand can hit targets as close as 12k, and do about 2-3x the DOT, which i just find agrivating....
425mm rails do have much less req now, but that does not solve the problem. I guess if a 500mm rail was added in with similar req and stats to a tach it would solve a lot of problems, but for now 2 425mm rails is worse than 1 tach, and it takes 2 high slots to use em

Im sorry but Tachyons and mega beams suck. They do incredible damage but the cap drain just isnt worth it

Im sorry buts its not hard to control if u train your skills high (at leats lvl 4 controlled burst and cap regen) and if u have 3 low slots cap booster and 1 med slot one, u will be fine.

I have to agree that Tachyons are the way to go.
I love the idea of hybrid weapons and was very eager to use them. I bought the 425 bp as soon as it came available and have used them extensively.
They just do not compare to the Heavy Beam Tachyon in any function.
You cannot sit and chain kill with them for any length of time because of ammunition problems. The tachyons hit harder, shoot farther and require no ammo.
As for the cap problem, this can be handled by cap rechatgers and skills.
I use 3 tachyons as the main armament on my Megathron with 4 prototype 250s for closer work.
May you be in Heaven 30 minutes before the |

425mm railguns just aren't very good.
