Thanks, that link works for me. I think the answer is yes, that ship will be fine in PvE, but maybe struggle in CZs. In RES or even CNBs it should do fine. Once you start engineering it, there will be nowhere it cannot go. If you mod the thrusters, sheilds and weapons it becomes a much more capable ship.
You use the same core modules as my FDL, so that looks good to me. Personally I'd drop the heat sink and the wake scanner, but not necessary. I'm no fan of SCBs either, but blaze your own. This is my PvE FDL
Eagle Weslake Fer-de-Lance -- Assassin
I use it for assassination missions mostly these days. Good speed, shields and jump to track the bad guys down. It's my only ship that still mounts armor. The huge hardpoint is always important on a FDL. Lots of ways you can go, and Ceekay touched on it. In my FDL I use a corrosive overcharged multicannon. The cool thing with this weapon is that it is not a rotating barrel like smaller MCs. It has no spin-up time. Quick presses of the trigger spit out single shells. It has good synergy with Elite's firegroup restrictions. On this ship I have the beams on one trigger and the multicannons on the other. Because the smaller MCs do need to spin up, and the huge one does not, it works like a dual-stage trigger. Quick pulls spit out single huge corrosive shells. Holding it down spins up the outboard MCs and gets all firing together. In this way I can selectively apply corrosive when I want, but without being profligate with the autoloaders.
