Accuracy accumulation?
just finished the first time, forced to follow the stroy line after comming back from alien sector.
so want to start a new game, and get more confused with perks. eg. if u chose laser proficiency + 40% gunner, how accurate when u r using laser? 30 + 20 +40? or 1.3 x 1.2 x 1.4? or 1.3 x 1.4? and what does a low/mid/high accuracy weapon mean exactly? |

low accuracy weapons like machineguns and miniguns start to be useful at around half of their maximum range. At max range even full bursts go in space. Other problem with them is that they have bullet speed (unlike lasers and PPCs) so when the ship have any angular velocity to you more bullets will be wasted. Laser type weapons deliver damage instantly (of course if they hit). Other great advantage of laser is that the beam stays for around half a second. If anything cross the beam during that time gets damaged. Half a second may sounds short but let me give an example I saw: Astarte fired with two muskets and missed both but during that time two fighters crossed the beams and they instantly vaporized. I wanted to hit at least one fighter but killed two.

well, i am trying to use engineer as mothership pilot, but found that type is neither good at stardard shooting nor lazer, so i need to think how to max the damage while tanking. |

Pulse Lasers are your best bet. Unlike Particle Accellerators and regular laser cannons, it spreads its damage over a 3 or 4 round burst. It will do less damage per shot, but it will greatly increase the chances of hitting with each burst. |

since engineers are only good at heavy weapon proficiency, so i'm really thinking of use that perk to full -- an all-projectile-cannon mothership. |

Yes. Pulse lasers are slightly too weak. IMO the best are normal lasers. They have highest dps and range (200 dmg and 2sec recharge against 260 dmg and 3sec recharge PPC).

The problem with normal lasers and particle accellerators is that they bank it all on one shot, so if you have a MS pilot with poor gunnery, they wont hit anything most of the time anyway.
and MS Pilot with heavy cannon proficiency? As far as I know, none of the Mothership system software has any proficiency, just Gunnery 2. |
