Best Weapon Combination (statistically)
Wasn't exactly sure where to start this thread (I would have done it in Multiplayer because that's where you'd want the best weapon combo but since this would technically be a spoiler...it's here). I did some calculations and so forth trying to find the best weapon (gun) loadout. I ran some of more common multiplayer loadouts and determined this:
RF = Refire Rate
HD = Hull Damage
SD = Shield Damage
4 Nomad Blasters (N
, 2 Del Cids (DC)
635 x 4 (N x 4 (RF) = 10160 (HD)
= 5080 (SD)
1242 x 2 (DC) x 4 (RF) = 9936 (SD)
320 (HD)

4 Nomad Blasters (N, 1 Kraken MK 2 (KR), 1 Tizona Del Cid (DC)
635 x 4 (N x 4 (RF) = 10160 (HD)
= 5080 (SD)
586 x 1 (KR) x 4 (RF) = 2344 (HD)
= 1172 (SD)
1242 x 1 (DC) x 4 (RF) = 4968 (SD)
= 160 (HD)

4 Diamondbacks/Cerbs (D, 2 Tizona Del Cid (DC)
1173 x 4 (D x 2 (RF) = 9384 (HD)
= 4692 (SD)
1242 x 2 (DC) x 4 (RF) = 9936 (SD)
= 320 (HD)

847 x 4 (NC) x 3.03 (RF) = 10265 (HD)
= 5132 (SD)

Feel free to correct any math mistakes or add a new gun combination... These statistics are for the Eagle, Titan & Sabre since they all have 4 lvl 10 slots and 2 lvl 9s. (Note they do have turrets as well but I didn't include them since most of the time the turrets do not fire forward except for the Sabre). Any comments or suggestions? One of the reasons I quit playing FL online was due to the fact that everyone was in VHFs with the highest shields and the combat was limited. You have any strategies to handle the VHFs?
Merc for hire...but only if you can afford it.
