Engineering Multi-Cannons
Please can someone help me. I have a Python and I have put on it 3 Large 3C multi-cannons. I want to engineer them but not too sure which ones to do. Either Rapid Fire or Overcharge them. I am thinking Rapid Fire but could do with some advice as I haven't done engineering before.

If you could give me some advice on this, it would be very much appreciated

Well muti are pretty rapid anyway, overcharging = more damage.

Wait before you go for it, someone will give better advice than me...

you start shooting just before you get on reticle for fixed for gimbals is easier , wpn timing is an skill in ED like rails you need to time shoot evade

oc is the better one rapid fire has jitter = misses and Multi-servos can increase rof check jitter

Overcharged on large MC's, Rapid fire on Huge MC's

I've got a similar loadout and I went with long range instead. But in a fight I'll hit reverse and try to stay about 2.5-3.5km. When their falloff distance is 500m and mine is 6.5km, I can tank a lot better than they can at that range. Naturally, that won't work if you are a knife-fight kind of guy.

Overcharge on MC's is always been the best, now with 3.0 live that may change who knows, we will see soon.
In regards experimental it depends if you like to PVP /PVE then Corrosive, Incendiary & Emissive are must.
Here my Python PvP/PVE 5xMC's build which can do pretty ok in 1v1 situations. For PvE works great too.

Grade 5 overcharged are now with 70% dps plus autoloader special effect. it is ultimate weapon.Even grade 3 modded now are better than any good grade 5 legacy mod.I dont recommend rapid mode as you gonna be left without ammo very very soon.
