Also the ship is bugged when it comes to ramming/being rammed, often a ram will insta-kill or severerly damage you, whereas is does not in other ships.
I ususally transfer all power to shields, tank it out, it works a treat.
All you need to do is slap an M7a on the nose and you've got a killer. The pips are slightly off at medium range and above, but at short range, or in a straight line, or against a big ship - it does catastrophic damage.
Don't worry about power efficiency - the 1070 saves you 2 watts at idle over the 970 - that's gonna save you approximately bugger all maybe a few cents a week in electricity. Not even worth thinking about.
I would say go for the 1060 or the 1070. I've got a few AMD cards here as I am an AMD...
Yes Yes Yes. We are winning the propaganda war!!
Just remember to be wary of fire hazards:
Spread the word, they must ENLIST NOW!!!
Get your megaphone out and yell TEST SQUADRON BEST SQUARDON!!!
Deafen them with propaganda until they buy test ear muffs!!
It's like having a rant about how poor FPS is right now - we know it is being worked on and improved. Turret stabilisation will be improved too it's just not a high priority and once it is fixed, it will totally destroy the current ship to ship balance so I can see why they are leaving it for now.
I've never had the ammo glitch and I use ballistics all the time - BUT I always kit my ships out in my hangar, never in the PU so that's probwbly why as I've heard the bug is to do with the PU.
