Oh... I thought this was a different kind of thread... Uh... Well Nevermind...

But to the OP, keep checking high-tech areas.

you wont find railguns, multicannons or lasers that big. The only thing you'll find for huge is a cannon or plasma accelerator

The only weapons that fit specifically for huge hardpoints is cannons and plasma accelerators. Everything else maxes at large or, in the case of railguns and multicannons, lower.

I do recommend you try out the huge plasma accelerator though. Takes a while to learn and is a little tricky to aim due to its slow projectile speed and being fixed only, but once you learn it it's absolutely devistating against anything less manuverable than a vulture.

Most people don't take the time to learn to use it and just say it's a crap weapon because they don't know how to use it. It's really not, you just have to give it a chance.

Bazookas?

I want guns soooo big that when I fire them, my ship warps backwards.

huge hardpoints are all about tearing open big slow heavy ships, they dont really need to be fast.

the plasma accelerator is good because it tears through shields and hull equally well.

i believe i heard they plan to add more huge weapons though, before there was only 2 ships that could have a huge hardpoint at all, so it wasnt that important, now theres more reason to add more.

Imagine a huge dumbfire missile rack. River of missiles, oh yeah. That'd be nice.

Hey, I can dream. xD

or even one massive missile to blow large ships half way across the galaxy , that would be epic!

Lets be honest, most PC gamers would not relate to a massive missle blasting anyone.... Hundreds of little tiny missles would be more cognitavly associative...

That's called a TORPEDO?

They are going to add huge pulse, beam and multicannon. You have to wait until then.

I find my Huge PA to be stupid powerful.. I tagged a conda this afternoon with down shields. 100% hull to 40% in one shot... hell I hit a viper that wasn't expecting it and took shields and some hull n a single hit.
