Fragment Cannon

Overview

Damage Type	Weapon Type
Kinetic	Projectile Spread

Good	Not Good
Obliterating things right in front of you.	Hitting things more than a kilometer away.
Distributor draw is low.	Ammo runs out fairly quickly.
All frag builds are tried and true.	Long reload unless you take a particular experimental.
Sneaky good as a spreader of debuffs. You only need to hit with one pellet.	Getting full damage is unlikely unless you’re at point blank range.

Different sizes have different firing rates.

A “sniper frag”. More versatile than regular frags.

Slightly less damage, but tighter spread and much longer range.

Faster shot speed, longer falloff range, less jitter.

Easier to aim and hit modules.

A corrosive Pacifier pairs very well with projectile weapons like PAs and Cannons as a single trigger build called a Tenderizer.

Double Shot	Lets you pour damage into a target. More damage per click than Overcharged, but you’ll run out of ammo very quickly. The second shot is on a slight delay.
Efficient	They’re already a fairly efficient weapon, so not a good choice.
High Capacity	More ammo with a bigger clip. Good for sustained damage (in CZs and such) as well as applying experimentals.
Lightweight	For mass constrained ships.
Overcharged	The ammo efficient choice for doing big damage per hit.
Rapid Fire	Fire faster with very short reload time, for when you want to dump ammo into a single target as fast as possible and you don’t care about ammo stores.
Sturdy	No.

Corrosive Shell	Only works against hulls. Increases damage and improves the armor piercing of ANY weapon striking the hull. Pairs well with High Capacity on a small frag or a Pacifier.
Dazzle Shell	Decreases target sensor acuity making you harder to detect…but it’s not clear if this works on NPCs.
Double Braced	Use a module reinforcement instead.
Drag Munitions	Slows your target to “zero ENG pips” speed. Doesn’t prevent boosting, though.
Flow Control	Save a little bit of power, but there are usually better ways to do that.
Incendiary Rounds	Changes the damage to 90% thermal. Can strip shields really well.
Multi-Servos	There are much better ways to make a frag fire faster.
Oversized	There are much better ways to make a frag do more damage.
Screening Shell	Reduces reload time. Not much downside unless you specifically want another experimental.
Stripped Down	Drops a tiny bit of mass, but there are better ways to do that.
