Ships What to replace the FAS with?

[oscarolim]

I am currently working on 3x triple Elite (Xbox, PC and PS4). On Xbox, for combat, I used a trusted FAS. I love that ship. Nimble, powerful, on compromised beacons is like a hot knife cutting trough butter.
The obvious choice would be to do the same build on the other two platforms, but for the sake of variety, what would you suggest I use instead of the FAS.

From the top of memory, I had 2 overcharged MC, one with corrosive and one with thermal shock (both gimbal) and two pulse lasers both efficient, one with thermal and one with emissive.

What would be a good alternative, preferably staying on the medium size ships?

Not interesting on the big 4, been there, done that, I had a lot more fun with the FAS than any of the big four.

The Mamba?

 

[oscarolim]

Chief I used one for making friends with thargoids. Krait I used one on distant worlds. Mamba could be interesting. A new ship that I barely used.

You could try FGS. If you are willing to do a little bit more engineering, especially. For customers looking for maximum dakka satisfaction guaranteed, or else you get a refund

Challenger

All Frags Chief because of FAS-like agility or Challenger for more versability. Mamba is nice too, if a little limited. For me, it fills the interceptor role.

There is no replacement. Stop trying and accept you got it right to start with

Challenge yourself and stick with an Eagle.

I am having a blast in a combat phantom atm. Great ship and surprisingly solid brawler.

Also very comparable to fas for weapons loadout.

an FDL
or Mamba

Absolutely. I ended up with a challenger, and even though is not fully engineered yet, the two large MCs on the FAS obliterate everything faster than the 3 mediums on the challenger. And don't have prismatics yet. But I agree, the FAS is just an amazing ship. But after going from I think was around novice to elite on a FAS, it's a lot of kills on the same ship

Ok Ok in all seriousness the ship to move to is.....




THE KEELBACK!!!!

I tried a long time ago, not my cup of tea. But it was the first ship I took to see Sag*.

Yeah

Spread my wings and go to SagA, but flying what?

My Annaconda Fit out for current on-route trip too SAG A; 3 x Gimbaled Beam Laser Fclass (not required unless in open play) 1 x Mining Laser (come back with Panite/Diamonds/Gold) 1 x Shield Booster (More the merrier) Most core components are maxed out - however using slightly below the best...

If I would redo my FAS on some other ship, I would pick the Chieftain and do something like this:

Coriolis EDCD Edition

A ship builder, outfitting and comparison tool for Elite Dangerous

s.orbis.zone

PVE combat ship: CZ, RES, Beacon etc. It has wing healing capabilities also and is super fun to fly. The small turrets provide the healing and 6km range for "pulling" and tagging ships. The larger hardpoints with plasma slug PAs provide the fun factor for combat. The lasers also handle any potential Eagles etc that are just a pain to handle with PAs.
