bornon anti-fighter weapons

[DrwHem]

the description of some of these weapons seems pretty cool. has anyone done any testing to figure out how best to equip the thresher for anti-fighter roles?

[uni790]

The railgun turrets(forget what they're called, big alpha good range), they're the only ones worth equipping on anything Boron, the other two do very little damage and have very short range to boot, plus if you use them you need to somehow manage to get both kinds shooting targets from any and all angles, because they're useless on their own.

Same goes for the ship's main guns, nothing worth using aside from the railgun style.

Have your thresher be armed with the one that slow down speed and maneuverability

Thresher just aren’t made to kill well because of their speed and lack of damage

But they can slow all fighters around them very well leaving them vulnerable to ship that actually does damage

They can also be parked on ship with M dock as additional weapon platforms

Think of Borons as a hive, a single Boron ship doesn't count much. Borons work well in specialised fleets.
Put those slowing turrets on the thresher and guard it with small swarm fleet (3-5 S fighters) with shield stripping stuff (arc) and those hull damage weapons for actually killing stuff.

I would go with a mix of a couple of arc turrets for their slowdown capabilities, and then stuff everything else with Ion Pulse Turrets.

Ion Pulse is, by far, the best anti-fighter turret due to how fast the projectiles are, and also having really good range for an M turret on top of that. You can even get away with not using arc turrets at all, but even including a single arc turret on each side will help slow down enemy ships and make other turrets even more accurate, resulting in even better anti-fighter capabilities.

And since you don't really have anything more dedicated against bigger ships in M turrets, this loadout is your best choice against basically anything else, although you definitely should go with other ships if you want to take down bigger targets.
