With the current version of the Paladin PD, could a Sunder make use of it and be effective in a fleet under AI control?
Since this weapon can target past allied ships without friendly fire... a pack of 'Paladin Sunders' in theory could easily gang up on a ship while hiding behind a more durable ally without the AI stalling out about not having a clear lane of fire.
Not sure if this is a good idea as I've not been able to find anything about using a Paladin on a Sunder.
Also, I have no clue what the rest of the loadout for the ship would be other than it might combo well with a converted hangar. I suspect it might combo well with other weapons that would benefit from expanded magazine preferably ones with a range closet that of the Paladin PD.
Basically trying to go for a general-purpose build that would be useful against pirates, missile spam, and even redacted foes.
I am not sure if anyone has tried it out yet as searching the forum as well as with a general internet search engine hasn't turned up any results.
I kind of doubt it would be better than the more common usage of an Autopulse laser or HIL but I'm not sure if anyone has discussed building a Sunder around a Paladin PD as opposed to the more common Autopulser, Tachyon Laser, HIL, or even the Plasma Cannon. But for some reason, I find the idea of sticking the Paladin PD on a Destroyer hull to be an amusing concept.
