Am i missing something with the FDL?

I have an A-rated Vulture with a Large Beam and a Large Frag Cannon, and I sent a CMMDR in a FDL running out of a CZ on 10% hull last night! Admittedly he could be in a stock FDL, but I'm not much of a PVP'r and he started it, so it felt like a victory!!!
 
FDL is a solid ship. You just made a bad call. Even Bruce Lee only fights people one at a time 😉.

The true strength of the FDL imo; if you can't kill it you can out run it & you can kill any ship that can out run you.

Tried running away in a FAS? Python? Conda? When it's crunch time those ships are a one way ticket to a rebuy screen.

Just out of interest, how confident would you have been taking on those two CMDR FAS' in your Conda?
Um...FAS and FDL have similar boost speeds...
 
As a reasonably long time Ferdie pilot...I would have legged it. Even NPC FAS/FGS combo wings can deal out a severe kicking when annoyed.... so a pair of PvP fitted FAS Cmdrs would have me reaching for the loud and fast button to GTF.

Testosterone can turn adrenaline a murky brown colour very quickly... best not to mix the two at all :D

I love the FDL but there is no way I could survive against 2x cmdrs in assault ships. Maybe a very good pilot (i.e. not me) running a stealth build (5x railguns + heatsinks) would do some damage, but I would take the sane course of action and run




Even an A spec conda would struggle against 2 fed assult ships - mil spec bulkheads don't help much if they target your powerplant

A rated conda wouldn't stand a chance against 2 cmdrs in FAS
