Asp is pretty hard to equip well for combat with 15 million. It may be a better idea to use a more affordable ship until you can scrounge up more cash.
Still, if you insist on the Asp, something like this setup could work with a few adjustments to taste: http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70g,0...7u57u5,2-887_8S6u6Q8S6k,7Uc50o7fO7fO05U03w03w

I actually found the Asp to be quite a decent little combat vessel once its maxed out. It has SIX hardpoints which means that it can pack quite a decent punch. Go with Two Class2 Beam Lasers and Four Class1 multi cannons and watch those pirates vapourise. The downside is the ammo will eventually run out which can be a bit frustrating if you are in a good HRES but in my opinion it's the best load out for the Asp. Happy hunting.....
Here is an Asp you can try. 15 million puts you in a budget Asp....which is fine..room to improve. I went with C modules on most modules. You can later upgrade them to A to improve its performance. Make sure when you sell your old ship you sell off all your components first and then your hull...so you don't take a 10% hit on the modules. It should give you a little more cushion. This build should do you ok. As I mentioned earlier...upgrade the modules as soon as you can afford to...never drop below rebuy x2 in reserve cash. Good luck CMDR!

Edit: my builds always require power management of the modules. If you are not familiar with that no better time to learn than the present.

Yes the chaff would be useful to....play around with the builds until you find something you like.

You'll need to buy the ship in Alioth to get 20% discount and it could do with more power (as always! )

Thx Sir yes i am familiar with that power management of the modules, I have decided to sell both my Cobra and DB EXP both fully upgraded
<grins> That's what I like to do, and I fly a Cobra Mk III which can out-run most ships!
You have a very good point in what you say about driving boats that affordable, but will sell, and grind a little bit so the front with your best tip so I have something to on, so we forget the 15 million limit

Asp looks better, in my opinion
and i Love the long Jump ASP can do.
Maybe you're right that your choice is better in the end, but I'm stubborn and i will have a top ASP: P

This takes massive power management
Set priorities to the numbers I have set them to. Turn off all SCB's accept the 5B's. Your KWS will need to be bound to a key so you can use it without deploying hardpoints. As soon as you deploy your hard points all priority 5 modules will turn off, including your FSD drive. If your fighting you are not jumping, scooping, interdicting, or any of the other things, so all power to fighting modules. When you have exhausted your 5b SCB you go to your module panel on the right and just simply turn "on" the first 3B set of SCB. Becasue the 5b's were set to 4 they will automatically turn off so your 3b's can be powered then just continue to turn on the next SCB as your current one runs out. By the time you get to your 2A rack it is get the hell out time and you stow your hardpoints and jump away...using the last set of SCB to keep your shields alive as you try to run. Takes practice but if you work at it you can really stretch your ships to their upper limits with power management like this.
Wow I like your build: P but has been a little skeptical of the pulse laser have not gotten it work properly for me, though it was on the Cobra I experiment with Pulse Laser though: P is certainly different here Thank you so much: P
Hold on to train in stressful situations that turn on and off modules, etc. when needed
was about to die but came away Play with the X box 360 controll and keyboard

Well.. as far as which Asp would be the best that's really down to individual preference. Particularly concerning weapon loadout. But when I was doing combat in a Asp here is what I used.
Nothing really fancy. 4 pulse lasers to drop the shields & 2 multi-cannons to shred the hull. Only thing that got tricky was managing power for the shield cells once the first bank was dry.
However this Asp is up around the 41M price point.

Are you sure about the name of that system, or is it NANOMAM?
