Well, my choice is pretty obvious. OB for the win. I grew up playing MOA a lot, so I guess I'm still trying to stick to that same feel of speed. OB allows me to do that. Plus it's grown to have a lot of uses in the succeeding years: jousting, flanking, positioning, and just plain bamboozling the other guy. :tongue:
Problem is, hanger cores seem to be overtaking OB in useability. Hangers now sport the best defense, CAMS, and cooling of the cores, generally speaking (*cough* UA *cough*). Plus that ability to store around 50-100 (or infinite, if it's a blade) more rounds of ammunition can always turn the tide of battle to the player. However, I'd still stick with OB.
EO cores have their uses. I think it's nice that when you're a blader, you can still have more than one stream of fire even when closing in on another AC. It keeps pressure on your opponent. But they're kinda like orbits: free damage. You don't really need skill to deploy EO, at least IMO, since you're basically letting the game do the firing for you. Granted, EO cores are pretty balanced in the fact that they don't hit much of anything beyond 100+ range, but still, being a purist (in a way, heh :tongue
, I try to stay away from them as much as possible.
So yeah, OB. :smile:
