Ships Alliance Chieftain Jumpstart Ship

[W0LV3R1N3]

I'm wondering how effective this ship would be against non-guardian NPC ships
in PVE?
My second thought is to buy the Jumpstart Diamondback and go the "Road To Riches" route.
This is my second account I started recently, and I have like 1.3 Million Creds and a Cobra Mk III...
I do not play in open btw.
Thanks for any input.

It would be weak in non-AX combat due to the weaponry, which of course can be easily changed. At least it comes with dirty drags and good core modules. But it is specifically outfitted for AX combat and you'll be essentially building a new ship anyway to convert it for normal PvE. Worth it for the thrusters only, or AX combat. Otherwise, buy and build one to suit your intended role is my advice.

It's a good build, done up like I like them, which is light, fast and maneuverable. No armor on this ship, nor any of the ships in my fleet, which keeps cost and mass down, and speed, agility and jump high. Still, there's enough internal space to fit some HRPs to boost integrity. Shields may seem lightweight, but with good resistances they are very 'elastic' and the fast recharge time means you would need to work to have them collapse. Very agile, this ship, and fast enough.

Fixed weapons on the other hand are difficult to use well, but maybe you have experience with this and it's no problem. But something to try out first if you have not to be sure that's the route you would like to go before you engineer them.

No scoop in the ship as shown because I rarely fly it far. But that can be swapped in as needed.
