Supercharged slots- best use?

[Mr. Bufferlow]

So is it better to put the device (like a scatter blaster) in the super charged slot, or one of the addons that has the best overall stats? Asking for a friend....

Tell your friend it's the main device that seems to give the best stats (though there may be exceptions?)

it depends... i generally play with placement and looking at the weapon's DPS for the highest i can get from it with what i have...

Take a look at this:

Instead of maxing out the dmg stat to 29k, I'll put the Voltaic Amplifier in one of the super slots.
Potential damage of 29k +21% dmg to stunned targets = 3200 dmg per shot
Potential damage of 26k +50% dmg to stunned targets = 4700 dmg per shot, when stunned.

Its super easy to stun before taking a shot and it freezes the target so he can't shoot back.

Thanks Everyone, all of the responses were helpful. I like using the stunner in super slot idea.

TBH i haven't used the stunner or much of anything outside of the shotgun (scatter gun?)... i just shoot'em in the face unless they're a walker... then i get under them and shoot anything that presents itself as a viable target... even their no-nads if they have'em

To my experience in ships, placing the main device in a superslot (e.g. the Hyperdrive) will NOT yield the best stat numbers, you must try different combinations with upgrades in the superslots and possibly all upgrades stacked together, ideally also stacked with the main device as much as possible.
Multitool and Exosuit I don't know yet.

i got my hyperdrive in my a class fighter and it pulls 1027.8 ly, my exosuits is boosted by an s class jetpack addon with all the jetpack s class addons arranged in all ajasoned directions.

You're right! I got an extra 50ly putting an S-class upgrade into the superslot instead of the main hyperdrive. Did the same thing with the pulse drive and got a bit more manoeuvrability too, but the photon cannon was the same either way.

I checked my multitools too - scatter-blaster in the superslot gives way more potential damage, but the scanner gets a tiny boost with a super slotted S-class upgrade instead of the scanner itself. I don't know how to measure the mining tool, or anything in the exosuit though.

Sorry, Mr. Bufferlow. Please tell your friend not to listen to me in future :)
