[TC] Which would you put Photon pulse cannons or gauss cannons?

[ogamerdg]

Which, why, or maybe both?

[Deadbeat_Spinn]

Depends on what ship it is.

Depends on the power generator of your ship. PPC are generally preferable because of their reach and their damage, but Gauss Cannons can fire indefinitely (well, until you run out of ammo , which is about the same). You have to weigh your options accordingly.

PPC as m2's have good generators so there is no real need to use ammo based GC, there is also a huge range difference so go PPC.

M1's don't have good generators so it would be good idea to use GC on them but you should have some PPC along aswell just for the range.

PPC for generic killing laser, gauss cannon for coolness

I found gauss cannons surprisingly mostly useless because very few ships can really use them and the ones that can usually have enough generator to run PPC as well. Shrike was just not my thing but it obviously would benefit of GC. I also killed a couple of Qs in a GC loaded truelight seeker but that's about it for GC usage in my game.

Shrike, Raptor and Condor would disagree with you on that front.

i use the goner tls with gauss cannons and that s all cuz i don t like running out in the middle of very big fights

I guess I missed the Raptor. That would probably be the only GC capable ship I'd use. Still, Panther is better

[Boredom]

PPC/ION. Those things need a lotta power, but theres nothing close to it for pure destruction. Khaak destroyers...
