What's a good weapon loadout for the Anaconda?
Looking for suggestions

My PvE conda is split between multi cannons and burst lasers, with the huge point being a multi cannon. The conda runs hot, so mod accordingly ie efficient weapons and clean drive.

This question has been asked 100s of times. You will get a ton of info faster if you do a search.

A good loadout for me may be awful for you.

Every one has their own flying and fighting style so weapon loadout will be different for everyone.

I would suggest you just try out some things and see what works for you.

I personally use:
Huge MC: High cap w/ Corrosive [Fixed]
1 large Beam: Efficient with Healies [Fixed]
2 Pacifiers: High cap w/ screening [Fixed]
2 Medium PAs: Efficient w/ dazzle and target lock [Fixed]
2 Small beams: Efficient and naked [Turreted]

This is more catered to the fact I like burst potential of the pacifiers and Plasma, and the beams are more for wing support

The smalls generally would be gimbal or turret, since they do cover the lower half of your ship

What's a good loadout? It doesn't really matter.
WHY? A good pilot will beat you every time!

Put turreted cannons on all slots. Mod them all with force shell. Go into a low intensity CZ and switch to external view. Watch and laugh.

Ok, not very effective, but it should provide some chuckles :D

Hahaha, would I even have to move with all the guns just aiming and shooting by themselves?

Mining lasers. Lots and lots of mining lasers. Maybe in turrets.

Probably not. :D

I once tried out Torvals mining lance... it was a dissapointment. Looks funky though.

The Conda does not run hot. In fact, it's the coldest big ship, and pretty cold in general.
Efficient on kinetic weapons (like multicannons) is a waste of time aswell, they have so little powerdraw/distrodraw that the mod barely even changes anything.
Don't shoot when the WEP capacity is empty, and you won't overheat.

I use 2 turret beams on top, 2 multicans on the bottom, 2 imperial hammers on the sides. Works well enough.

I use all turreted burst lasers and a huge gimballed multicannon on my anaconda. Shreds everything up pretty well in PVE so far even in conflict zones. That is also not counting having a fighter out to help out as well.

Ok I go with all lasers. Bottom huge and large are beams. The rest are gimballed pulses. Except the two on the top are turreted for when I get out turned.

I have effecient weapons mods G5 on all because you can fire a lot longer when the use less power.

G5 mods on a lot of other stuff as well.

At least 1 size 5 or 6 SCB and heat sinks to equal the number of SCBs I have.

I like all lasers so I never have to go back for ammo. If I am careful I never need an SCB but stuff happens and I like having it.

The ship can sit in a HAZREZ for hours racking up the kills. I only go back when I get bored.
