Hi folks,

I know I have been discussing this lately, but I wanted to ask again… I'd thought that the discussion here was that the modified shard cannons can be just as effective (in some cases more so) than the guardian gauss, but in perusing the AXI website, I found this under 'common mistakes'…

​

Although other AX weapons may be interesting and fun, nothing beats a Gauss Cannon. Due to Armour Penetration values, Guardian Gauss cannons have the highest effective AX damage per second. Focus on learning how to use Gauss Cannons properly and you will have a far easier time as the Interceptors you engage get tougher.

Guardian Shard Cannons and Guardian Plasma Chargers simply cannot keep up with the DPS and effectiveness of Gauss.

Shards also require the pilot to be within Lightning attack range to achieve maximum DPS effect.

​

So, was wondering if that still applied, or if maybe the arrival of the modified shard cannons were something of a game changer allowing them to be competitive with the gauss. Was just about to equip my shint new Mk II with 4xmodified shard cannons – kinda wanna know before I spend the mats, if I'm just going to want to change them to gauss in the near future!
