Ship Builds & Load Outs Imperial Courier Critique my 'bucket o' chicken' PVE frag courier?

I'm a bit bored in my 'vette, so I'm looking to build a screaming fast small ship for PVE hazres hunting.

I'm thinking that speed and agility means getting into close range of most things relatively easily, so all frag cannons should be pretty fun. Hurtle in, meatshot, boost out.

However I've never flown a courier and never really run frags; I'm not sure how practical this is. How badly will it suck?

I'd use overcharged (or lightweight if you want to push it to the max).
Ignore screening shell and apply incendiary x2 and one corrosive.
I'd also use a biweave, because you can escape at will and recharge.

I didn't get on with frags in my Courier. They are a short-range weapon, and the Courier is a high-speed ship and frags didn't fit my vision of how to fight it.

For the build, add a scoop :)

I'd be looking to bump up the thermal resist, as lasers and the sort are the weapons most likely to strike your small, fast Courier.

Holy crap this ship is so much fun.

Flies like a sack of meth-crazed weasels, and the spike damage of the frags is insane at close range.

It really doesn't like being rammed by an elite conda, though. Let's not do that again.

It's only making about 600k before I run out of bullets (as opposed to 4m for my 'vette), and there's some fights I definitely can't take on in the thing... but I don't care, this is FUN.
