You smelly amarr whiners /shakes fist. 
Tachyons are on a league of their own. If you want to compare "top tier" guns, compare megabeams with 425's and 1400mm's.
Take it from someone that actualy flies all the ships you're comparing...
Amarr have more issues with their lesser ships (like the pilgrim) than their BS's.... I think you're going to like the new apoc a lot btw  |

It's just weird sometimes...
Flying amarr myself (and to the max with my alt) and being -generaly- pleased with the ships, I have a question for those requesting buffs on lasers:
Why is the ammo-less aspect of them always forgotten? (now noone says anything about volatility now, you know what I mean!) |

Also, you said in anotehr post that Tachyons are "oversized". I do not beleive this to be the case because Megabeams lack range and require four or five tracking enhancers to compete with a 425 II or 1400 user. Megabeams also have poor DPS etc, but I can see that you are trying to troll Amarr with your posts. You killboard stats show you are a Minmatar/Gallente player and not a Amarr one.
Well tachyons are oversized, aren't they? They are certainly more damaging than any other type of BS longrage weapon out there.
The fact that fleet battles take place at 150+ ranges is another thing and not the gun's problem, no? It's not like the tempest/maelstrom can comfortably reach those ranges without being in their falloff.
An 8 Megabeam abaddon has muc higher DPS and alpha than your usual megathron and a 7 tachyon abaddon (using a single PDU2 while having mwd+medium cap injector) is even better.
You might agree with me if you flew the other ships.
I only have Amarr BS4 with coco that's why you don't see me flying amarr BS's lots, but my alt is all 5/5/5/5/5.... but I dunno why I have to justify myself to you. Trolling? Please 
My point about no ammo was geared more towards having more free space for capboosters, ability to instantly change ammo to suit your range and all that jig. Pricing was certainly not on my mind.
And then you have to take into account that the armageddon for instance can squeeze in pretty nice damage (by taking advantage of it's lower price and using grid rigs) and be a very nice choice . |

He falsely states that mega beams need tracking enhancer to compete with 1400mm arties. This is totally false, mega beams out perform the arties without ANY tracking mods let alone with them.
Please don't help when you're wrong, ok?
1400mm's have a slight edge on megabeams due to their big falloff, but ofcourse they track badly... which isn't our problem here but range is. |

Sorry, but it is you who are wrong in this instance. In EFT paper DPS world 1400mms have a slight edge. In reality fall off is a bad joke and mega beams out perform 1400mms arties.
What EFT are you on about?
1400mmm's have the same base optimal to megabeams so when having the same ammount of tracking enhancers/computers fitted they sure outperform (range-wise) the megabeams.
It's not (too) bad fighting in falloff, especialy when it's 60km long.
Tracking is not a real issue (for the ranges LordW is worrying about). |
