After a painfull experience today, i started to wonder about core weapons.
They recharge in your cargo, and you can just carry a carload of them with you, and fire, switch, fire and so on. I thought all other weapons needed to reload when you switched them, fighters included.
Now i wonder wether this is a glitch, something forgotten or its just completely alllowed?

He means that your able to store charged CW's in cargo. When you fire one CW, you can swap it for another, and fire it, and another, then fire that one, then another, then fire that one. With no energy penalty.
In my opinion, this is just like wormhole fishing. Pulling a new station to avoid the wormhole timer. This is just worse.

i dont mind it with the WH's but this is a weapon. If you do this smart in lets say a Battle Station and put 10 charged QST's in it, you can just blow up any ship you meet.

Wormhole fishing bad.. but funny.
back to the topic of CW's.. I noticed that with my Ion cannon you can pop in new ones and it works like revolver. If that makes sense to anyone else out there. Only got it to work once w/o any energy drain, but for that to work my JD had to have just been used and after doing so i wasnt able to Jump anymore.

I tried refiting qst once, but it wouldnt let me! Once u remove it u cant fit it back into the slot. So no way to do that tactic with qst (not sure about SI or IC)
