Re: Q: Does anyone use \'Silo\' Batteries when build
It would depend, but I wouldn't do it. Most likely you will not be destroying another ship with even a single salvo of massive mount weapons, so attempting to "save" shots is fairly meaningless. Also keep in mind, you can miss, which will mess up any carefully calculated damage balances.
Your best bet is to just throw as much damage as you can for a particular weapon, so there are very few situations where you would use, say, a large mount on a Dreadnaught.
Some exceptions: in stock, you might want to use more small mounts for weapons like Ionic Dispersers, to make sure you aren't doing overkill on engines, or for the Allegience Converter; anything over 100 is useless, since the damage is the conversion percentage.
