Split weapons?

[mr.WHO]

Are split weapons working only with Split ships or other races too?
Are Split ships capable of using other races weapons?

I am yet to find Split shipyards and work the rank to actually check this myself.

Universal. Though Split weapons are kind of... an acquired taste, probably. At least the gatlings. I've switched them out in favor of good ol' pulse. Too much spread, too few hits. Maybe they'd be good against bigger targets though.

Wasn't that the issue with all turrets, but pulse lasers ? Not to hit ...
Or has this been fixed in vendetta ?

Yeah - it's a practically an autoshotgun with multiple barrels - having 4 of them and being close to the target works just fine. I wouldn't recommend it if there is only one or two weapon slots on the ship.

In general one has to train with the weapons in order to see if they can replace the "normal" weapons for the own playstyle / preferences.

I like the Desintegrator with it's dot damage / shield penetration and of course the Gattling. Have yet to test the others.

From what I've seen the split weapons are S & M only - and unfortunately they can't be used as turrets

Do they have their own "color" L-size turrets? Like reddish plasma, pulse and beams?

That they have at least.

Anyone knew what is their racial quirk for turrets and weapon?
Firepower? Rate of Fire?
