What about a destroyer fit? Assuming, of course, that you have ever bothered to unpack your destroyer. |

Also, gatling vs normal?
Pulse are higher DPS with shorter range and beam are lower DPS with longer range. All the races have those same two versions of their weapons. Autocannon/blaster/rocket = pulse. Artillery/railgun/missile = beam. |

For PvP, you'll want pulse lasers. The only exceptions are mega beam lasers or tachyons. You'll know when you need these. If in doubt, fly pulses.
AC puni vs laser puni is interesting. The AC puni tracks better, has better cap, more fitting space and (usually) a better tank. The AC damage type and tracking means they'll usually do more damage too.
So why fly lasers on a puni?
1. Roleplay reasons, you 'want' lasers
2. Scorch. With the AC's you run the risk being kited inside scram/web range, scorch will remedy this. Problem is, every frig that can kite you inside web/scram range can close in and outtrack pulses.
This reasoning also applies to the punishers bigger brothers: Prophecy and Maller. Both of those are also arguably better with AC's than with lasers. |
