Are assault-class dreadnoughts supposed to have the theoretical ability to fire off 7 core weapons (with loaded cargo slots) in the theoretical span of 30 seconds (with quick fingers)?
Yes or no?

Why do I get the sense that the people who are most likely to say "Yes" are not even going to humour this poll?

Assault class dred have a cargo space of 4, so even if the cargo is loaded with core weapons they cant fire more than 5. And to doit in 30seconds is pretty impossible as you have to wait fot the weapon to hit before replacing it...which takes time.
So Nope

It's an exploit and shouldn't need exlaining but expect an announcement about it soon and a full account of the reasons.

no because there are only 4 cargo slots
besides you need 2 troops to be safe from being boarded
note you can only fire then one at a time (have to wate for the first to hit before you can fire again)... then comes the long reload... sit and wate, sit and wate...
all in all your better off with more troops

how does capping ships work anyway? i see people getting 10 heavy inf on board and not being capped, and ive experienced getting 2 in an empty frigate! without getting capped.

Although..a scout with 300 Full range QSTs would be funny to watch..where it's always on auto fire, and cant run outta energy..
It'll cost like...100 mill to mod one, so we wont see it in battle often..and, it'd be a realy cool light show...

Too bad, Each Core Weapon wasnt a Fire and Froget kind of deal. Like yeah you could fire off 5, but you better go buy more

Well you people who said yes had better rethink your decision, because it's illegal now.
