I was running my Anaconda with all MC's before I changed the large 4A to a Beam, which is Effiecient/Oversized.
With all 8 weapons being MC's, compared to the difference between 1 Beam and 7 MC's, I can take the shields down probably 5 times faster than just the MC's, then I use just the MC's to eat the hull and down the ship!
ships don't stand a chance. I haven't encountered a T10 Defender yet, and they usually are packed with Hull reinforcements, so that will be fun! LOL
