Switch ammo according to target, if you know what you're doing, load different ammo for shield/armor. Always use faction ammo, and load just enough for a few rounds for each gun - no need to store additional ammo in your cargo as you won't get time to reload.

When using blasters check whether the Federation Navy or Caldari Navy version of the ammo is cheapest.

Use meta 2-4 guns and damage modules where these are cheap, as this will increase your DPS.

Skills

Skills that you'll need:

Core Skills

Skills that will increase DPS very quickly:

The higher these skills, the higher the alpha damage.

The following will enable you to get down to 6.5 something seconds cycle time, to possibly get an additional round off before concord arrives (in 0.5 sec systems):

If you want to put more SP in that, you can train the rigging skill and AWU to 4, then you can drop the reactor control for another gyro. At that point, you also can consider some implants, as you *shouldn't* lose your pod:

  • Eifyr and Co. 'Gunslinger' Small Projectile Turret SP-603.
  • Zainou 'Deadeye' Small Hybrid Turret SH-603.
