Defender MK5 Advice

Hey Folks,
Not MK5 yet but I when I am, what weapon do you recommend for the third slot? Here is what I have available. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

That carronade is awesome
But not suited to defender

If u dont want to run speeder... then id level the blast cannon

 

Thanks Monobrow! I was thinking about the blast cannon or the explosive cannon. I may test the carronade out but as you said it's not suited for a defender.

 

Yo duuude, how much money went into this game?
I mean you're 45 but really spending about 1,200 $ on a game is a bit (too) much in my opinion

Why do you even ask here about which weapon you should use?
It doesn't matter at all, you have everything
Just put SOMETHING together and you'll be at 4k infamy in no time

I don't want to be rude at all, but man, even as an adult, there is no way you can spend that much money on a game without feeling bad...

 

Jabynator,
I appreciate your candor but my thread is about my third weapon option, not how money I put into the game or my age.

 

From my experience (I'm much lower level than you) I'd prefer missiles or explosive cannon because those bring some area damage, which you don't have yet. However, your blast cannon and railgun can be upgraded further because you got a 2nd of each... so I don't know. It wouldn't be optimal to run blast cannon and sniper together though, because most of the crew trainings require you to choose one of the two.

 

Thanks Miathan! I played around a little with the railgun and the cooldown is quite long. It makes things worse when i miss. I am leaning towards the explosive cannon.

 

I would go with explosive cannon if you don't have a mortar to use
