Dispersal Field is an Experimental Effect that can be applied to certain weapons by Engineers. It is an experimental upgrade that causes successful strikes to temporarily confuse all gimbal and turret hardpoints on the target, at the cost of direct damage potential. This thread is archived. I'm working on getting my way into Alioth to get to Bill Turner, just wondering what I should go with for a PA for mod and experimental effect since they all look pretty enticing.Efficient is probably the best all around choice, and the one you'll see most commonly.Next patch, long-range weapon will increase projectile speed, so that could be a choice if you have a hard time landing shots.A case could be made for rapid fire, as well, but I don't think it really fits with the big burst style of the regular plasma. In use, their projectiles move relatively slowly (875 m/s); this and the lack of gimballed variants make them challenging to use, especially against smaller targets. Killed it with phasing damage. Dispersal Field's effect can be likened to that of Chaff, and has a similar duration. The following modifications can be applied to this module:
It lets you get considerably more damage out of each shot, but you have to be careful that you're not upping the distributor draw to the point where you can't even fire it, and you're also very likely to cook yourself a little with each shot.For experimental effects, you're pretty much looking at target lock breaker or dispersal field to throw off your target's aim, or I guess phasing sequence so you can deal hull damage through the shields, but personally I don't like that one since you lose a chunk of your raw damage, meaning it's actually an overall loss of dps. 8 comments. a large or huge may look to one of the other mods to affect the raw dmg output better.Isn't rapid fire loosing the reduced distributor draw in the beta patch? They're also fitted to large trading ships and passenger liners operating in the more dangerous regions of space. Was friggin' hilarious.for PVE i like using plasma slug, especially with Patreus' advanced plasma cannon. Even a Small Plasma Accelerator will destroy a well armed hundred tonne ship with a single shot. Even a Small Plasma Accelerator will destroy a well armed hundred tonne ship with a single shot. It is nice to be able to soften their hull prior to the shields coming down, though, and against ships with huge shields and SCBs you could theoretically kill them entirely with phasing sequence damage before having to get their shields down at all, but that appears to be a fairly rare and extreme case.Next patch, long-range weapon will increase projectile speedLong range has always increased projectile speed of every weapon it can be applied to, that's not new in the patch.Cutter in a CZ once got shields back at 2% hull.

Elite Dangerous is a space simulator game by Frontier Developments based in the year 3306.

As soon as you're on hull, you'll rip through armor with a bonus of high pierce. It is a bleed through modulating burst fire system designed to defeat shielding. share. share. However, they have among the highest raw damage ratings of any weapon and much of this damage ignores the various resistances of shields, hull and armoured The drawbacks include the high level of pilot skill required to use them effectively (especially against smaller targets), and their huge energy requirements and thermal load. Phasing Sequence is an Experimental Effect that can be applied to weapons through Engineering. This has a devastating effect on the local population, because the terrifying noise of the beam cutting through the atmosphere can be heard for hundreds of kilometers, and will deafen anyone unprotected in the vicinity.

The large version has been known to be used as a planetary assault weapon, destroying selected areas of cities from orbit. 66% Upvoted. The large version has been known to be used as a planetary assault weapon, destroying selected areas of cities from orbit. It's probably only decent going against a prismatic cutter in pvp. It's probably the best choice for advanced PAs, though, since those have larger ammo pools and are more designed for sustain than regular PAs.Some people like overcharged, since you don't fire your PA too frequently anyway, but that one is risky and requires some planning.
