Ship Builds & Load Outs All-laser DB Scout

This one.

Used primarily in assassinations and (sucking at) PvP. I don't have to un-target to fire through chaff and the gimbal on pulses places the fire pretty on power plants. Quite happy with it despite the Scout's rubbish distributor. Have no heat problems either.

Over to you commanders.

I bought a DBS for a change of pace from my FDL. I went with the standard set up at first, PL with MCs, then went to the all thermic build, but I noticed that I rarely used the size 1 HP, since it drained the distributor too quickly, so I went with a powerhouse kinetic for those larger ships up close and personal that you may need from time to time after the opposing ships shields go down. However, I still wanted to keep the shields over 200, so I didn't want a weapon too powerhungry. Due to the ship being so nimble allowing you to stick with any ship tight and close to attack, I tried to keep it light and I went with a fragment weapon that I know I can place my ship to ensure that all the ammo hits. It definitely packs a nice punch. Bear in mind this is only for Bounty Hunting and not PvP, which I don't really get into the latter anyways:

I aim to replace it with a Courier though, so I am grinding out Empire missions to get to Master, which I am now one away from the rank. Can't wait.

It does make sense to have low-ammo big-punch kinetics to pair with the medium pulses. But I just love the way the beams with pulses suck up shields . I'd love to see some rail gun duo on the Scout though, still testing a reasonable build - I hate having to make compromises and / or bring guns offline.

The Courier, especially a 2x rail 1x beam build, is a tempting offer though. The shields on that thing are epic.
