If you have 4 Forward weapon Slots Quads & 3 DHC's isn't a bad rate of fire.
DC's fire twice as much for half the Damage. The inherent Crit of DHC's means they usually hit harder.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
Personally, I think it's high time the heavy quad cannon made an appearance.
Multiple quads on one ship would be funny if massivly OP
Maybe for leveling but once you get to 50 the quads lose power and are inferior to fleet and I think general mk xii purple gear.
But yeah DHC are superior in almost every way, the only things DC are better with are the Tetryon Glider and from what I hear DEM.
as others have mentioned i would go with DHC's. imho always the ticket
as to the rate of fire, it is my understanding that the weapons cycle from left to right front to back... try moving the quads around, that is to say, put them in the 1st weapons slot then maybe try them in the last. don't know if that'll help, but worth a shot. gl hf
As for how many of what, it really does depend on the ship you are running, mainly because of the Bridge officer abilities it allows you to have. In end game you don't really require much to be effective, which means you can fill out all the extra stuff with whatever you want, and of course select a weapon or two in addition to the cannons to make use of them.
In the end, if you are running cannons in PVE, all you need to have is tac team (to balance shields), ideally two copies of cannon spread to run them in tandem for constant rate of fire boosts and to punish the entire mob all at once (one copy can suffice), and one or two copies of attack pattern beta. Any version would do, it doesn't matter. It stacks, and the entire team benefits. (also why you use spread. it puts beta on everything hit)
If you have some extra tac slots you want to fill, and you go with torpedos, torp spread is a good choice. again it hits multiple enemies and has 100% accuracy. If you add a beam, target engines is useful against the spheres to slow them down, or target shields to lower their resistances, or fire at will again to spread beta, shoot down the high yield torps, and damage multiple enemies.

However, I personally quite enjoy using them on my 'shotgun' Bortas. The faster velocity is great when you need something dead yesterday and quads work very nicely with scatter volley.
Takes note, readying Veranus for "LOLZ" in PVP.
Much like building up a stacked alpha on my B'rel and launching torp spread 3, then 2, then activating and launching 3 again. Not particularly effective against other players... but it is beautiful to behold. Especially with a mob of baddies in front of you.
TS3- four pairs of torps to five enemies = 40 torps
TS2- three pairs of torps to four enemies = 24 torps
TS3- four pairs to five enemies again- 40 more torps
= 104 twinkling lights drifting upon thine enemies to bring pain and ruination. *grynz*
(Quick note- each pair of torpedos counts as a single hit. in total each individual enemy takes 4 then 3 then 4 hits, or 11 hits total to most of the five targets involved, depending on how the targeting goes)

Ever tried doing that on an Armitage HEC with the TPDS console? :cool:

It is a shame the console doesn't have a slot in it to convert the console into a particular torpedo type. Maybe setting ut up like how the emissions torp or shockwave torp were changed where it is a torp buff instead of an independant item.
ooooh the glory of a quantum torp storm like that! *drools*
As for quads on shuttles... i thought they patched that out. I recall that if quads were already on the shuttle they didn't get pulled off, but I haven't been able to actually -load- them onto one in ages.

The high yield torpedos can also be dangerously effective, but are best used indeed with something like the plasma or tricobolt (or omega/reman experimentals). They have a slowed flight speed and can be shot down, but it is rare they actually miss, and if your target dies it finds the next one automatically instead of just being wasted. However even regular torpedos can also benefit so long as you use the right powers to immobilise your target first. Tractor beams and viral matrix are awesome for that.
With the right timing I can get off 13 shots all told (HY2,HY3,shot,HY3,shot) which would be devastating if I didn't have all but two or three miss. :-P
