Fas or fgs

Which one is better for combat in conflict zones as I can't decide what to choose

FAS is more agile and faster, whereas the FGS has higher armour and more firepower

For CZ's I would recommend the FAS, as you can turn to face other enemies more easily and get out of sticky situations faster than in a FGS

I don't know about the FGS, because I've never had one, but the FAS is a beast. Got one a couple of days ago and it's now my go-to ship for RES farming, bounty hunting, CZs... it's agile, hits hard and can take a beating very well indeed. I use two medium and two large pulse lasers - not the most exciting loadout, but when the weapon capacitor's depleted, the mediums can continue to fire while it recharges. The armour means that losing shields isn't a worry, and they seem to recover quickly even with only one pip in systems.

Great ship, highly recommended.

Both work well but I'd rather use the FAS.

FGS, if you have the cash to sink.
I've survived situations that would of took me to the rebuy screen in my FDL.

But this is strictly just my opinion, if you're a little rusty go with the FAS, it's more beginner friendly.

I'm going to have to re-try the FAS... getting bored with the predictability of the Ferdie....and that finest crystal windscreen that breaks when space flies crash into it.

That was one of the things that pleased me so much about the FAS after so much time with the Vulture and Clipper - I don't have to go off and get my canopy repaired all the time. One of my favourite things to do in the FAS is kill things WITH MY FACE, just like the NPCs do
