When buying a new ship, it is always a good idea to get your loadout sorted as soon as possible! The default layout is alright but is not the best you can get.\u00a0
Erkul is a good site to know what can fit on your ship, where you can get it and have a shopping cart to keep track of what you need to get where.\u00a0<\/p>

A few basics for loadouts:<\/p>

Weapons:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Laser repeaters (CF-117 bulldogs, CF-337 panthers, CF-447 Rhino<\/strong>),\u00a0 are used in 90% of PVP\/PVE loadouts. They have good range, recharge quickly (no ammo required), fast firing and do a decent amount of damage. Gimbals should be avoided for two reasons, you can only mount a smaller size weapon on it and they aren’t as accurate. You should really be practicing your aim ! Gimbals are training wheels, we don’t do training wheels in TBAC!\u00a0<\/p>

Missiles:<\/strong><\/span>
With missiles you sometimes have the option to mount a different rack which makes you carry more missiles but of a smaller size. This is personal preference, but electromagnetic type missiles are best at this moment\u00a0(they are banned in some of our events because they are a bit OP)<\/em><\/p>

Shields:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

This will always be the FR series (FR-66, FR-76, FR-86)<\/strong><\/p>

Powerplant:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

This will always be the JS series(JS-300, JS-400, JS-500)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

Coolers:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Has no use to change these, might change in the future.<\/p>

Quantum drive:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

For small ships Atlas<\/strong> drive, for medium ships XL-1 <\/strong>drive, for big ships TS-2 <\/strong>drive.<\/p>
