Or is just me?
After getting my new Sidey A-rated, I tried some combat at a nav beacon. I had the standard issue gimballed pulse lasers. Against equally low rated opponents, they worked really well. I took down a Cobra III and an Asp Scout with no problems, but the pickings were pretty slim.
I thought I'd try some railguns, so I picked up dual fixed versions, class 1, and headed to a RES. There was a wanted novice Asp Scout. Well, I thought, this should go a lot faster than those weak pulses. Four shots in and I'm at critical heat levels. Six shots in and I'm taking heat damage. After about 40 shots (hits), the Asp finally explodes.
I mean, seriously? WTF?
