Maybe keep the old gust as some rare variant please? I'ts so adorably weird. Not so awesome now without the sidecar-mounted cannon.
Aye, I agree. Not sure how the heck I managed to overlooked this comment the first time but that aside after a re-read I noticed it and it's exactly what I was thinking of too except in the back of my mind somewhere.
Anyhow after some more fun with the new Gust I've noticed myself being less accurate with only Macros cannon due to slow speed and small thin size of its projectiles.
Rerouting Grave HMC to the first weapon group with Macros cannon and setting the two guns on an alternating fire mode makes me both more accurate and increases the main damage potential I can deal now.
Auto-attack of AI can't seem to make up it's mind where to aim Grave HMC and I have ended up losing shots from it too many times while only shots from manually aimed Macros hit my foes the most. Once again I left the auto-attack for PD and missiles. I do tend to kite, slide and glide about as much as I can, no wonder the AI's auto-attack can't keep up with me.
And.. uhm, you all probably thinking how the heck can weapons on auto-attack miss shots fired from a cruiser. That's because I have three custom robust hullmods to make it turn faster, fly faster and fly faster outside the combat. That's why I haven't made a cloned super version of the ship as extra speed seems to be enough to survive longer.
