That would be absolutely hilarious!

The run felt like using a gatling gun against a roman army. The ship needs some time to get going, but if you can survive the required ~25 seconds it plunks out lasers at almost 3 shots per second. You get 15 of those seconds for free with cloak, and usually another few from the zoltan shields.
It melted the boss in about 40 seconds each

A pre-igniter actually makes the Vulcan get to the 1.1 s rate faster than a reloader, because the first shot is the longest. (36.6 - 11.1 versus 36.6 - [0.3 * 36.6 = 10.98]), assuming no weapons skills, but that only makes it harder to calculate.
