In kil2's videos, he doesn't group lasers on his Geddon. Was it not implemented at the time or is there a reason not to?

not sure about the video you speak of but some reasons not to group all your weps would be if you plan on shooting multiple targets at same time OR they deliberatly have different different ammo charges OR they are a different type of weapon.

None of which are particularly good reasons without some very specific circumstances.
Shooting at multiple targets at the same time is a bad idea, most of the time, because you don't kill anything as fast, so you don't reduce the incoming damage as fast, so you take more damage for longer. The biggest exception is when you're one-shotting things with one weapon. Grouping weapons at that stage would be wasting damage potential.
Using different ammo types at the same time is just going to reduce your damage done across the whole time you're shooting.
Fitting various weapon types usually means you're at the wrong range for at least some of them to be most effective, unless you just stay in the optimal of the shortest-ranged one.
I'm sure there are specific exceptions to this litany of "not a good idea", but you're probably best discovering those for yourself.

it wasn't implemented at the time.
the geddon also doesn't have enough powergrid and cpu to fit a full rack of megapulses with kil2's fit, so you end up with a mix of dual heavy and mega pulse (5/3).
overheating is also harder to control with a big stack than smaller or non stacked. -sig- Support the introduction of Blaze crystals for Amarr!

Edited by: The Djego on 23/08/2009 13:37:08 Guns donŠt take all the same damage during overheat(since it is a bit random and head spreads from the modules left and right in the fitting).
Because of this it is possible to lose 1-2 guns in a group, since you only got one overall heat status, even if 1-2 guns are above this level you will not realize it since you canŠt see it.
This is the reason why I donŠt goup them on the mega but it is only a small point and only realy a issue if you want/have to squeze the last bit off performance out of your guns. ---- Nerf Tank - Boost Gank!

Ang what happens when a faction or T2 crystal break while you use it ? Could it be a reason not to group weapons ?

It's easier to micromanage heat with your guns ungrouped. Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Navigator |

You're all forgetting a very important factor.
Grouped lasers sound like this: PEW.
Staggered lasers sound like this: PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW.
More PEW = cooler.

Basically this.
I'm not sure about how long OP has been in game, but there was infact a time when weapon grouping didnt exist
I do personally still weapon group, however, I stagger them into multiple groups.
Megathron w/ 7 Blasters for example, I group them 2-2-3, don't ask me why, I just did it one day and have stuck with it since then. Please re-size your signature to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes.Applebabe
