Oh wow. Outstanding work, commander. I'm using the Krait mark II as well for a lot more casual tharg hunting, and it's kinda sad to see it can't orbit well without sacrificing on alloys and distributor. Still, I like this ship.

It can do reasonably well also on charge enhanced - you just need to boost-orbit and take the occasional hit here and there. Weapon-focused is only needed for a no-hit run.

Question, (and maybe this is a question born from ignorance on my part), but since your running a weapon focused PD, aren’t you able to throw more pips to the engines in order to balance out the loss of total charge enhanced? By the looks of it, you were basically only “skimming off the top” for the weapons, my idea is… wouldn’t that mean you have plenty of pips to spare while still being able to crank off Guardian Gauss at the same rate?

Believe it or not, a WF PD has actually a LOWER recharge rate for WEP than a charge enhanced one! (albeit slightly.) It's real benefit is in distro CAPACITY, which is what matters here as more distro = less heat spikes, which was critical for this run. If I'm not doing a 100% run on 3m gauss, I will generally fly the KMk2 with a CE5/SC distro.

@@Astyrrean okay, that's very informative. Now I suppose I'm being a bit thick here, my thoughts are if you did this exact run again with the same ship, but instead had the pips layed out 0-3-3 wouldn't that help for speed? While also giving enough recharge rate to the weapons? I'm assuming (and I could be wrong) that there is a clear distinction between recharge rate (managed by the pips) and over all capacity (dictated by the engineering). Does taking away pips reduce the capacity and recharge rate or just the recharge rate?

@@mr.highschoollocksmith6080At the full fire rate of 3m gauss (2050ms cycle), with a single sink active (which gives +2MW WEP recharge while active), a 0-3-3 would overdraw and soon heatspike. So, no, you want 0-2-4 if you don't want to get hit :).
