Your thread and my recent purchase of a Tac pilot ship has got me back into cannons. Was surprised to see how quickly I was taking out ships with such little dps.
I found this article that goes into detail on the benefits of cannons and got a fresh perspective on beams, cannons and dps https://startrekonlinecouv.wordpress.com...sus-beams/

Instead of adding another post I figured I would edit this one.
Nice video here of a 252k dps run with disrupter cannons. It might be old to some veterans here but worth a look for anyone looking for tips in the right direction to improve their ship build.

My jaw dropped when he took out the Nanite transformer without even worrying about the generators.
