Afterall, with AM blasters, the idea is generally to get close, fire, then run away while venting.
Exactly, I really enjoy that type of stuff, it is something I've experimented with a bit myself, I love the idea of the AM blaster, but the flux requirements are so high, you have to be creative about it, ha ha.
I've kind of started to think about playing by the rules, and that means obeying OP limits
Upshot of it is, the Langoustine can't take 3 Gravitons in to battle alongside the AMblasters, BUT it can take 3 ion cannons, a dual flak mount and a few flux capacitors. I've also tried a bank of 3 AMblasters at the front, with ioncannons on the side, which is interesting. I get the feeling the third blaster is all but redundant though, would probably be better substituted for 10 flux capacitors, and the ship would still retain it's punch ...
3 pulse-lasers, 2 pdlasers and a heavy machine gun is the current 'Standard' variant. This also carries a few flux capacitors in with it, and those pulse lasers can really chew things up.
But this OP limit stuff is hard ...
