Over the weekend, I put together a pretty detailed guide for the Galactic Academy discord server explaining how to build a combat ship for PvE, both with and without engineering. The server is meant for newbies to have a place to ask questions and learn the basics of the game, so the guide is targeted towards that crowd.
It's a little too long to post here, so I linked the Google Doc above and put a little rundown below.
What is in the guide?
Hope this can help some of you with your ship builds!

What is in the guide?
- Basic concepts around weapons, defenses, positioning in combat, utilities, pip management
- Outfitting examples for a non-engineered Viper mk 3 and an FDL while explaining the choices behind every selected module
- Very basic explanation about engineering
- Outfitting example for a fully G5 rated FDL with explanations for every engineered module
- Engineering "tier" list
- Build links to multiple ships with and without engineering
- Useful utilities section that makes building ships easier
Hope this can help some of you with your ship builds!
