Loadouts

I know this has been asked here allready

I just went through the article on gamers.com about the weapons and shields.

Do you guys mix diffrent sorts of wespons to achive a wide array of shield type dammage or do diffrent systems use diffrent shield types?

Example: Liberty uses molecular shields while Kusari uses Graviton based, or what ever 8) So you would have one type of loadout for Liberty based missions and another for Kusari?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

hm.. well, in the beginning, when i was in a small crappy ship in liberty, i used to have the standard guns + a stunpulse (that's a weapon that does, compared to the basic liberty weapons, great shield damage, but virtualy no hull damage).
When i ventured more outwards, and better guns were available, i dropped the stunpulse (because i had guns that did an equal amount of shield damage, but also do hull damage).
I usually have some fast firing guns, and some slower firing, with more impact, and those are usually a different kind of weapon, that's better against other shields than my fast firing ones...

Thats a good question, completely slipped of my mind...

Can you group weapons? or does the <RMB> fires all weapons onboard (cept missiles, mines and so forth)?

You can design your own weapon groups - so yes - you often group weapons onto different hotkeys...

How do you mount a weapon that you picked up from a destroyed ship? I had got a more powerfull weapon from a battle I was in but couldn't use it untill I sold it to someone and then bought it back for more money.
Is there a way to take a gun from your cargo bay and mount it either in space or docked at a station or planet?



Edit: Never mind. I've just figured it out. To those that don't know there is a little icon in the image of the weapon while you are in the equipment dealer. Clicking on that mounts or dismounts it from your ship. Easy!

LOL, OMEGA, took me a while too to figure that out when i first played. I always thought you had to sell and buy it back.
