Thanks, this makes my decision for adding some reserve weapons much easier.

[hauskins]

Thanks I needed this to outfit my Mustang Alpha for Pirate fighting.
only ship i got and Renting the guns, as my REC ships dont work in 2.4 universe for some reason
but if I dont play Arena mode my guns last forever, and might as well use the little mustang for all its worth.
So I am ready for using it in the PU.

[artfact]

Nice! Really interested on your thoughts on the other sized guns!

[blammod]

The game is SO BEAUTIFUL.

I wish flying 3rd person view was a viable way to play the game so I could adore my ships the entire time.

[artsolano]

Really great analysis.  It answered a fundamental question for me.  I had thought one size 3 weapon was better than two size 1s and I was wrong.  This is in respect the nose turret on the Hornet and Ghost.  Only problem I have with that turret is that it is always the first thing to break ... like a bloody nose.  I find a single recessed gun is more durable.  However from your presentation I am considering using two size 1s there instead of one size 3 in the nose.  Thanks.

I had swapped out the Longswords on my Avenger Renegade and 85X for M3A Laser Cannons from my two P-52s.
Then I saw a comment saying the Longswords are better then M3As so I found your comparison and found out that (in your opinion) the top two size 1 weapons are, first; the Omnisky III Laser Cannon and second; the CF-007 Bulldog Repeater.
If I ever get my game stick setup correctly I'll look into renting(?) either one or maybe a combo of both?  ;-).
Thanks for the vid, I'll be going back looking for your videos on setting up a game stick.

Thanks again for another great Vid, I love the Bulldogs that come on the LN, although they did break them in patch 1.1.. I think they fixed them now though, firing about 6 shots until they were useless made it very hard to fight hehe. Cant remember what the other two weapons on the LN are at the moment but on their own they are not great!

I cant change my standard weapons at the moment but when the REC system comes in this information will be a lot more useful to me so I can test different load outs!

[PyroChimp]

Lov'n ya videos! keep up the great work mate!

[SirAroace]

dose the "N4-160f Turret" replace your missiles?

[TheRealKyle]

when you purchase the weapons from voyager direct, is that for only one or a pair of them?

[bags]

So gimbal mount 2xbulldog repeaters and omni 3 lasers on wingtips for a mustang beta, as long as I can upgrade the powerplant and shield, should be ok then for a small exploration/fighter should be OK at a guess... mind the overheating though...
Thoughts/suggestions for different setup... Citizen _Bags_

[SquarelyGames]

Good video in general with nice information. I think you'll be clearer though with that this is still early alpha so stats can change rapidly. Especially when you say omninsky being "worth the money" when it could turn out to be terrible compared to know next week. If they implement a good melt system for VD items this wouldn't be an issue but until then I think we should be very careful with giving buying recommendations. Just some feedback, otherwise a great video.

[flonp]

For a mustang got any suggestions for load outs

[casualking]

Do you still think that the Omni's are the best s1 and s2 weapons currently? Or have they been changed heavily in the last few years.

[josen]

How are there EXPLOSIONS in SPACE? O.o

[kazansky]

Good video man, but you sound kind of like a VD store infomercial. I'd rather not have a podcast try to talk me into buying things.
