I’ve always used mouse wheel for throttle with middle mouse click setting the throttle to 50% for the blue zone, gives me a huge advantage, I always see footage of people changing their throttle to be just outside the blue bc they don’t have the time to look at the heat of the moment, although since in flying more with fa off and just using w and s for 100% forwards and backwards I might change it to this
3:30 I'd also like to add that using the upgrade that gives you double ammunition along with plasma slug ALSO makes the damn gun use more fuel, instead of the opposite (get 2 shots per fuel reload). Which literaly makes the upgrade worse than just having default. Now, as a person who simply loves the Imperial Eagle... imagine how frustrating it is to me, to handle the level or restrictions these ships have to deal with. I'm left having to dig around whatever makes me stay in the battlefield for longer, which in some cases includes having to mod a weapon to have move ammunition, however that also makes them heavier, which pretty much only affects small ships... And you will not want to have Plasma Slug on a ship with 4t of fuel.

@@Hazzmango Cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not, I have not played elite for a long time, but I was pretty good at landing railguns before horizons came out. Are long range plasma slug railguns a okay idea as your primary shield breaker for pve? was thinking of maybe running 2 long range plasma rails, a corossive high capacity multicannon, and 2 efficient oversized multicannons. Probably a energy based ship-launched fighter in the krait's hanger to help thin shields.
@@DakkaDakka12 the 200 IQ play referes to using a medium slot weapon on large hard points. It works and is effective, but not many people do that, hence the meme response. Plasma slug railguns are a good choice for shield breaking, I prefer PAs for that but rails will also work.
@@DakkaDakka12 did it work out? I've just started playing essentially and I put 2 rails on the front of my Kmk2. I tried them and they're nice. I also put a fixed beam on the top to use as a laser pointer for the rails, in between two gimballed multicannons. Am I getting the most out of my hard-points?
Found a Dropbox link someone had (which didn't have any viruses). Used it in Balaboka, so that my editing software updates with what I write for my script
I keep coming back to this video for laughs and inspiration. I’m much better with railguns with super penetrator coupled with beam lasers with thermal vent. I’m to going to use try plasma slug for pve soon.
Well, I am confused. I loaded my Anaconda with railguns. At the dock the ammo showed as something like 81 rounds per railgun and they came fully loaded. When I was in combat I noticed that I do NOT have an ammo count showing up on the HUD, or indeed anywhere else. Surely they cannot have made them infinite ammo? What's going on?
It was a multipurpose fit during the video. The main part is that the power distributor is maxed out using charge enhanced with super conduits, and that the powerplant was armoured with thermal spread.
Can I get a uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh large rail gun?
@@Hazzmango uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll take a super perpetrator experimental, two thermal cascade experimentals, a plasma slug experimental, a side of fries...
After Frontiers recent bombshell announcement the only thing holding new Railgun users back will be a lack of targets!!! I think the game will be pretty empty in the next couple of months, all the way through to late 2020 (and that's if Frontier are telling the truth on that front, we know they love hyping and then dashing our hopes) And that's if Elite even has any players left after nigh on another 2 years of neglect!!!
@@Hazzmango I wish I had your optimism mate, but that disappeared around this time last year. Frontier have told us that the updates we do get will be far smaller than Beyonds ones (and no doubt they mean the 2 shite middle ones we had) and the first 2 are aimed at noobs. Elite has been crying out for more late game content but that's not happening. We still have no clue exactly what they are talking about, and likely wont until it gets pushed back from late 2020. Stupid me for taking Chapter 4 as a taste of good things to come, it's looking more like the final hurrah!!! Horizons dropped late 2015!!! We've had nothing significant since then, I feel Frontier are moving on to bigger and better things now!!!
@@rinzler_o7o7o7 exactly, this significant update was first mentioned at the 2017 Expo, and was said to arrive at some time LAST YEAR!!! Now it's another 2 years away (we all know how shit Frontier are with deadlines) The thing that made me laugh was straight after this crappy announcement forum dads were THANKING Frontier for the news haha!!! I'm an old fart myself (45 this year, please kill me!) but I haven't got the patience for that, and I honestly believe that Frontier knows people will go and are fine with that as I think they're allowing the game to die a (purposeful) natural death. They can't just drop Elite because it would look terrible to outside eyes, but if everyone just stops playing they can say its cancelled through lack of interest. I would NEVER buy another Frontier game, and will also never buy another wanky 'Live Service' game in my life. Sorry for going off on one but I dont like being strung along like a twat or lied to.
@@battlecruiserna and that's the problem!!! You've missed absolutely nothing but disappointment. Yet again a promised update has been pushed back (we still dont even know what it contains) for 2 YEARS and it is already a year late!!!
I suck with this weapon. Can't get the hang of the delay. Also, how the hell do you put that many on a ship and still have enough power? I put ONE plasma accelerator on my anaconda and I went over my generator's limit. It wasn't even class 4!
Comes down to the engineering on the powerplant mostly. Slapping Grade 5 armored on it with the monstered experimental really helps. When I filmed this video, I had hardly any SCBs on my conda, so power wasn't a big issue back then.
@@Hazzmango What would you suggest I do with the anaconda up until the point where I can engineer things? I've got the location of one engineer at the moment I think... No real idea what I need to do other than finding them. I have an assortment of fairly random and largely crappy lasers from my smaller ships, one railgun and a class 3 plasma accelerator. And the aforementioned power problems.
@@DGneoseeker1 A stock Anaconda is a very decent ship, since it's the go to big ship even without engieering. For suggestions, I would reccomend watching some videos by Exigeous, since he deals a lot more with that kind of ship progression.
@@Hazzmango Let me ask a more general question then. I have a decent shield generator on the anaconda, but if I go mining and load into the game already in the mining zone, I get attacked by NPC pirates wanting my cargo. SOMEHOW their weapons seem able to blast through my shields and cause massive damage in about two seconds. What on earth could they be armed with which could do this? If I had attempted to fight I'd be dead. I ran.
@@DGneoseeker1 For mining you do want a decent overall shield, preferably A rated in your second highest optional inernal slot. Then just add as many shield boosters that you can afford. When you spawn into a mining zone, NPCs do spawn as well, its just a thing at the moment. When you want to do mining, make sure your cargo hold is just limpets, or what I do sometimes, just give the NPCs some cargo that they ask for. Armining yourself won't help too much in this case I think, hope that helps.
Same reason I use TTS. For the meme. Nobody wants to listen to another Yamiks/ObsidianAnt yammer on about railguns. But hearing the TTS Daniel voice convey what they want to say, people tend to listen longer.

@@Hazzmango same question for you Hazz. Btw loved the vid.

plasma slug on rails for PvE is very nice, good practise too
I want to see someone use the best gank ship in a npc battle
It's pretty damn good when doing PvE
Great video, but I'm obliged to hate it because it contains rails.
Im new and put 3 on my eagle...never looking back
Because i'm a lazy f*cker, have you got an ED shipyard/coriolis build i could emulate ?
Where do you find so many people to play wirh?
Community discords mainly
And by emitting the mango signal
Well, I am confused. I loaded my Anaconda with railguns. At the dock the ammo showed as something like 81 rounds per railgun and they came fully loaded.
When I was in combat I noticed that I do NOT have an ammo count showing up on the HUD, or indeed anywhere else. Surely they cannot have made them infinite ammo?
What's going on?
Incase you never figured it out, plasma slug mod removes the limit and uses your ships fuel as ammo.
@@JenkoRun Yes I knew about that, but I don't have plasma slugs.
It was some kind of bug.
Would you advise against using a python with rails? Seems like a good alternative for my personal needs.
Python works really well with rails
yippie
Drives are not safe
I should tag this NSFD
What are drives
Mamba with shotguns vs. FDL with snipers?
I think mamba with shotguns would win in that scenario
@@Hazzmango tried it for a bit, its kind of trash since the mamba can't turn at all. best shotgun ship i've found so far is the chieftain.
When it comes to PvE which do prefer between rails and PAs? I want to use some of the more skillful weapons I haven’t used much before.
PAs are very strong in PvE, however the AI will evade your targetting reticle. Rails would probably be better in comparision
@@Hazzmango cheers g’laaaaad
Somehow plasma accelerators are easier for me to hit with in pve over rails
does cascade still work that way? or some changes buffed it or smth?
afaik cascade is still proportional to damage
Perfect! Can I see that fit?
