I use either 4 nomads and 2 Salamanca II's or a full 6 Skyblast B's. The latter is just for fun, they take too much energy to compete with the nomad guns.

I use 2x Wildfires 2x Prometheus + 2x Salamanca II (I might swap those for Krakens or Wyrms, haven't decided yet) and a Skyblast B turret I nicked off a GMG ship. I used Nomad cannons for a while but then I got shot of them, it's a bit of a cheat imho and using them takes the challenge out of the game. Bit more legit to use a pulse weapon to take down shields, I think.

Don't use missiles at this level, I get the cold shudders when I fire off a Cannonball or Firestalker and my expensive ordnance gets decoyed away by an el cheapo CM. Gutting. You get value for money with guns, the only missiles I ever use now are Hornets.

As for Rievers and Buckshots, I've captured loads from the many BHG Hammerheads I've gleefully destroyed, god I hate BHG, unf. whilst these weapons seem to tear me to bits when I come through the O-41/O-Gamma jumphole, their kit doesn't seem to work so well for me. But I get great results with the above mix, shields down in one good strafe, hull gone in one or two; sometimes with weaker enemies I do a head-on run, z-kill the engines and just spray fire, last night I did this by Soton Shipyard and killed 2 Crusaders, 4 Starfliers and 2 Startrackers in one pass, turned back and killed 4 transports in one pass. Later on I tried this by the Ring in New Berlin and to my f***ing total amazement got chased by Humpbacks and they were giving me quite a pounding too! The things were being flown like fighters.. never seen it quite like that before.
