Newcomer / Intro Suggesting on Anaconda outfit?

Generally long range haulers are not built for fighting back as you are wanting to avoid a scan. I'm told 1 or 2 turreted lasers are good as pinging an enemy ship with weapons fire breaks the scan.

Anyhow it looks a good build to me apart from the powerplant, that'll enjoy overheating when scooping, get A rated for better heat properties. I'd maybe throw engines up a few notches too but thats my personal paranoia :p Also I've never done long range hauling properly so can't really say too much besides shields look ok, and I don't see any other glaring problems apart from the PP.
Not sure why you have a wake scanner on there but I'm not gonna judge :p

Thank you. I guess I'll just stick to running away after all than :)

The PP suggestion is great. Overheating while scooping have been a problem, so I'll take your advice there!
The wake scanner is for engineering materials that I need. Will switch it out when done :D

Cool, glad I could at least help somewhere, maybe someone more experienced with long haul will be able to confirm if what I said is true. Either way prepare for a hit to those biowaste missions in 2.2 if what I read is to be believed...

Ah ok, when I need them I tend to head to a CG system and buy something cheap+fast like an Eagle and just fly around scanning for a few hours chatting to the players there. Lots of wakes on trading CGs :)
 
I would swap the wake scanner for Point Defence or Shield Booster and swap the scoop for a size 5 I know it costs 16 tonnes of cargo but I would sooner be jumping than scooping.

Defence wise a couple of pulse laser turrets and a couple of multi cannon turrets and at least 2 mine launchers on the small pads aft.
