Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

So my current Anaconda build is A on every main thing except sensors. My question is what weapons should I use ? at the moment I have 4 turreted c3 burst lasers 2 c2 and 2 c1 turreted beam lasers.

Should I grab myself beam lasers at every port(and if yes gimballed or turreted) or should I get the Plasma Accelerator instead of the c3 burst laser on the c4 port ? Or should I change my current weapons to their gimballed versions ?

Also the two med or small beam lasers will be replaced by pack hound racks when I get them(Med or small because I don't know which size they have)

I'd be very interested in this as well. I'm starting to save up credits for an Anaconda and I'd love to hear suggestions on weapon positions since it's a huge ship with hardpoints above and below the ship.

I think I'll have to change my build when they add the ability to carry other ships up to sidewinder size though

EDIT: Money is no problem for me right now.
I just need help with them lazors

all beams is a bad idea as all that will happen is you'll end up with heat damage when you get into a fight.

Never had heat damage yet

C3 Turrets will keep firing and cause heat damage. Not sure how much as I got scared and sold them at the first opportunity !!! That was my first and only experience of turrets and it was enough for me
I run a C4 PA. 3x C3 gimballed burst. 2x C2 gimballed multi cannon and 2 x C1 seeker missile racks.
It's a good balanced load out that means you can use the multi when the lasers get a bit too toasty
I did run C3 beams as well and that was very effective but I need to get the A8 power plant really to justify using them.

That's a surprise, even with 2 pulse lasers and 2 multicannons fitted alongside the beams i sometimes still get a bit of heat damage if i boost before firing for an extended period with 4 pips to weapons.

This is my current Conda configuration for trading between 2 stations (1 jump): http://coriolis.io/outfit/anaconda/08A7 ... da%20Trade

I have a similar build but mine is more combat based and not as shieldbooster heavy as yours

Just put pulse lasers everywhere like everyone else does on every hardpoint on every ship. /rant.

Mine is all A, 432t, and I have all gimballed beams, but I wouldn't take it into battle that way. It's just for "boiling" fools that interdict me. If I were to take it into battle, I'd probably have a mix of turreted beams and turreted multi-cannons with either a PA or gimballed huge cannon on the C4, depending on heat/energy available.

Honestly though, the way AI gang up now, I don't know how long a Conda would last in a CZ, which is where you should test for combat readiness. It could probably do fine in a RES, but then, what ship wouldn't?
