Removal of Cerberus Turrets or Replacement?

[Haste]

Assuming the Cruiser has CMs, the BS cannot reliably hit it with anything, and the BS can't run because the Cruiser has CD.

- Switch to a weapon group. I personally use group 4.
- Set all weapons to inactive in this group.
- Put battleship cerbs, primaries or both in a separate group.
- Bind a [Fire Weapon Group X] key where X is the group you put cerbs/prims/both into.
- Switch to the 'No weapons at all' group.
- Press the [Fire Weapon Group X] key to fire.
- Aim based on instinct, not on the garbo crosshair.
- Profit.

Projectiles will have a spread as wide as the weapons of your choosing are apart, so you're unlikely to hit with all guns at once. This shotgun-like spread can be beneficial (even just a few cerbs/prims consistently hitting a cruiser will hurt it a lot) or detrimental depending on the type of cruiser you're facing and the type of evasion they use. You can also switch to a group with less range than the range you're currently fighting at (say, your secondaries) instead of an empty group to cause your projectile to converge at the maximum range of this weapon group, instead of not converging at all. You don't want a crosshair though, it ruins everything.

This is how battleships go from being sitting ducks against small kiting things to quite effectively murdering them. Learn something new every day, right?
