Double carronade

Ok so I want to get a double carronade setup sorted, I'm mk6 so my options are as I see it are either:

1. speeder with ob, nitro and TS plus big shield and turbo plus either bandage or small shield
2. enfo with sniper or bc plus ob TS x2 plus big shield and turbo

I would appreciate any advice you can give me as I haven't used carronade before so will spend tomorrow correcting all of my training!

 

I would use speeder because with double carronade it's good to be able to flee if your presence arouses too much attention

 

would you have small shield or bandage to heal?

 

Small shield is bad idea. Work on big shield. 2x carro is really annoying. You can build a dual carro rudder setup too. But if you prefer healing then don't.

 

The speeder would have a big shield, don't have a decent rudder yet so will go bandage then I guess. Bet my guild doesn't get a carronade quest this week now!

 

I would go for enfo in my opinion. Double tesla shield should be enough to be able to survive long enough for your carros to wreck. The longer range weapon would help as you move in.

 

That's going to be a lot of button pushing

 

Speeder is better with double carronades. You have to get close and hold back fast so this is the best thing speeders do. Use tesla shield only if you have a strong one, otherwise double nitro works fine. You can try rudder but i recomend you to use bandage for recovery while you hiding.

 

Speeders with dual carronades are.......
DEADLY!!!!!

 

Now, I don’t play either ship, but I think double carro would be useless on enforcer. How many times are you gonna be that close range with enfo? Carro is a more suited weapon for speeder, in my opinion.

 

I use enforcer with sniper/blast and double carro; it's good but you have to wait a while for an opportunity to use them, especially on maps like crash 'n' burn where battles are predominantly long range.

With speeder it's much easier to dive in and out, though the reason why I chose enfo was because of the added hp (including TS) and the extra weapon slot for a long range option and as a counter against defenders.

 

that’s what I was saying. Because of speed it’s much easier to use short ranged weapons on speeder.

 

Enforcer with Carronade is good but it requires all 3 speed boosts (OB, Nitro, Turbo) to make sure you're able to get in range to hit with your carro and to run away fast enough when necessary.
IMO Carronade + Double Bubble can't work

 

I have run a double carro speeder with nitro ob ts big shield turbo and rudder. I can spin around shooters with this pretty well, also my most fun set up

 

wow thanks everyone, I was playing with mk6 speeder last night and I find it so hard to control so will deffo be using the rudder instead of bandage! I have an epic 1 just need to level it up I guess.

 

Don't you think you get to choose either Carronade or Speeder if you want to use it's full potential from Swift Talent tree!

 

I prefer speeder with 1 Carronade and 1 Cannon. You can still rapid fire at close range, and while your dps is hindered a bit, your weapons' reliability will ultimately get better results. Double Carronade typically consists of doing nothing and waiting for the right opportunity that may never come, or rushing and dying early on.

 

Ok thank you so much everyone for your helpful insight. I think I will go for double carronade to start with but work on getting my bc to T5 as currently its T2 but have I the duplicates required

 

this boi is right
funny no one but him mentioned it
carro and certain speed skills clash in swift so to retrain everything to have decent carros, ur speed heavily suffers, nitro looses boost, maybe OB suffers and turbo as well
my recommendation, dont use carros, go full speed training
carros require u to get real close and can be very annoying yes, but could put you in danger of getting the "Minesweeper" achievement, since u always have to get close to people, in other words, all i have to do to safeguard against carros are a few mines near me and EZ GG
