Ships Dakka Gunship Build

[thargoidspy]

o7 fellow Cmdrs, please kindly evaluate my build plan for the Dakka Gunship.

Basically all multi-cannons thus I have to put some Incidentary rounds to melt shield. That leads to hull tank, repair limpet, and thermal powerplant to reduce the significant increase in heat.

I will mainly use this for wing missions, haz res, and typical fun.

Thank for all the experts for your valuable inputs, here is an updated build changed based accordingly to your opinions + the ones in reddit.

Needs moar dakka

Downgrade the life support and sensors to D rated to save weight.
You can also save weight on your powerplant and likely your distributor as you have a low power build.

And GroG79 observation raises a question. Is this PvE or PvP?

 

[GroG79]

PvE... This boat in PvP will not last

I've redid engineering on Hull and HRP, resists were all over the place.
Also used a 5D long range sensors instead of A-rated. Basically no point to use A-rated long range (too heavy). Usually if you use A-rated you go for light-weight... but that works from size 7 and up.
SO here it is

Still, i would drop the afmu, repair limpet and afmu and use shields. Change the lifesupport to D-rated, A-rated are too heavy and too power hungry. Swapped some HRP/MRP and added some Guardian Shield Reinfocements

A large cargo rack, three hull packs, a heatsink and lack of a shield. Seriously I don't get your vision of a Gunship.

 

[Fenwe]

Fairly sure the commander wants to go silent running. But that's just a guess based on his original shield-less plan.
