If you get good and accurate with them, you will kill power cores for days. I had a Viper with 2 railguns and 2 pulse lasers. Lasers take out the shields, snipe out the powercore, turn the pirate in to space dust through attrition.

PA's i like quite a bit as well tbh

Same as PA's......

I was running 2 on an Asp In Beta with shield bleed through......

Find target.......Get position.......Open up with PA's.....

Switch to beams......Kill the shields.....

Open up with the rapid fire Multi's.......If in close slap some more 2 PA shots in.....

I don't remember PAs being finicky about hitting modules. What little I used them, they seemed to damage the hull just fine. Unless you are talking about just getting hits in general, because they are so slow in firing that the target can maneuver out of the way.
