Problem is that with big lumbering ship you can be best pilot in universe, but you are not outturning anybody even somewhat competent pilot with more agile craft. And whatever tinkering to ship you do, it is not going to be that much more durable to balance the issue. That other guy has no problems of hitting your big ship, but you are going to have problem in hitting his ship.

Newcomer / Intro I got the ship that can kill anything, now what?

OK first off, remember that people here have been partying together for a while and we are familiar with one another. You're just learning people here, so you don't get all the back-stories. And just so you know, @Old Duck is a VERY good and experienced person to get to know.
Second, that's not what we're saying - not at all. The Anaconda is a spectacular ship; in fact it is so good it breaks the laws of physics - it's half the mass it should be. But combat in ED is a precise balance of speed, energy, tactics and knowledge...and only the best can use the Anaconda to her fullest advantage. And to anyone reading yes, that's Ganx. He's practically unstoppable in that thing. She is much slower to turn than almost any other ship and requires solid knowledge of linear vs. angular positioning. You CAN'T outturn an enemy, so you need to get distance to reduce the angle-of-fire, and work to keep your opponent in that angle. Done well, the Anaconda is superb. Done poorly, it's a coffin. That's what we've been saying throughout this thread.
Every single ship in this game can be the BEST ship in the game depending on individual preference, role and ability. Newcomers tend to think that the larger ships are better. Experienced players choose more versatile craft. TOP players often choose large vessels, because by that time they've learned how to deal with the limitations.
If you want to fly the thing that's great - I'll do my best to help you get better with it when we meet.

I finally managed to get some CQC going on the other day (it's been dead forever in there). Had 1 good game, then a level 50 guy turned up and fought a bunch of level ones and a level four. Nobody managed a single kill against him. The rest of the time is waiting endlessly for enough people to turn up for a game to start.
I doubt I'll bother again.

To my knowledge thats more of an engineering option than specific weapons. I typically use beams multis and packhounds. Never failed me yet
Hi bluflame we were both on a few minutes ago - I sent you a message but you obviously didn't see it. You were only 56ly away.
