best ship for killing NPC only

In theory: yes. But when considering that the OP stated that he has problems keeping his guns on the enemy without being outmaneuvered, pointing towards the FGS is terrible advise.

Alright joking aside, an all Multi Cannon FGS is a very fun build. With Gimbals it's not hard to learn to how to keep pointing your guns at them. Add some dynamic FA off into it and you'll pick up combat in no time. And engineer it correctly and you've got a hull tank that can take serious punishment for when it all goes sideways on you. (Like it will, often).

OP sounds like he's after easy kills where he doesn't have to really do much to earn them. If that is the case then your in the wrong game
 
P.s. it can carry a fighter. As a beginner I'd recommend you carry one. Let the NPC crew help, a stock MC build will eat through your ammo before most shields pop so a beamy fighter is essential

That's actually a thing the OP could and also should do on his current ship, the Krait MK II. But until we get more info on the ship, we can't tell if he uses that or not.

well i refer back to the "inevitable jousting" point They're not discriminatory, NPCs will joust with anyone regardless of what they fly, even in an agile Eagle with G5 dd an Elite conda pilot can throw the conda around like its weightless leading you into a 45 minute joust fest, unless you reverski of course.

It might be my misunderstanding the OP. But from how I read the OP, I would say that reaching jousting would already be an improvement.

So perhaps am just too negative and misread things, but that's my current understanding, based on which I try to give advise.
 
you know what..... just forget it, its either the federal assault ship or the vulture or any kind of ship that can kill NPC easily while pointing my guns at them.....
feels like my question is in a trash can anyway...
:cautious:

I think you went wrong with the wording. No ship is perfect for everyone, it's down to personal taste. The FAS is a good ship but you'll experience the same problem. As for the Vulture, I love it but if you struggle to get on target with a MKII or FAS then again, same problem and less wriggle room because less guns.

Don't get salty because no one can give you the perfect answer. There isn't one.

And have a SLF for added attack! I love my FGS and all MC's is very effective, just don't forget one of them needs to be corrosive!

It's really really fun. If anyone's thinking of taking it to a CZ I'd recommend 2 beam lasers as well. Extra shield popping ability.
 
A lot of it is to do with personal preference. You've just go to try these ships to see if you like them. I can't see anything here that would steer you wrong.

As for me, I use an all overcharged incendiary multicannon Chieftain for going on killing sprees across systems. At 650k per kill at notoriety 10 I'll rack up a 30-40 million credit bounty in a couple of hours easy. The hull hp is incredible on that ship, so I'm never worried about being blown up.
 
To "Farm" NPC's by repeatedly easily killing them, a conda is the king of DPS due to its plethora of large hardpoints, its also stupidly agile for the ammount of hitpoints if defenses it can carry and doesn't need a rank to get it, so go build yourself an Anakilla

I told you to try a beluga, that is the best ship.
