FDL CZ outfitting advice

[m0rl0ck]

Im participating in the CG in Mu Koji and so far im in the top 10% and i have only died once when i stupidly dived into a furball with a couple of capital ships at the center. I was yelling "geronimo" very quietly inside

Anyway, i can usually come back with between 60 and 200k in bonds when i restock and repair, but i would like some tips on maximizing my build for lethality.

So here it is:

Any tips on loadouts / general outfitting?

Thanks

I have something similar, but there are a few differences. I have 2 imperial hammers instead of the 2 c2 multicannons. I also went full a rated.

I don't think the ads is going to be super helpful in a cz, so I'd replace that with a hrp or something else. I also went with 2 pd instead of a pd and chaff, but I can see why a chaff might be nice.

I think otherwise you're pretty close.

This is the FdL I had been using in RES/CZ's. I have come to favor a Cannon, or PA in the Huge hard point. The MC's grind down an opponent very nicely but, sometimes you just want some 'punch' to finish off a big ship, and to take advantage of those moments of opportunity.

I was never threatened in this ship, unless I did the things that got multiple ships on me at once. It was still defensible enough to jump out when there were too many threats. Have a look, and see what you think.

That's why I got the hammers, for the punch I mean. That and the heat for extra damage. It's a matter of taste really.

Switch out the A5 shield for an A4 shield and use an class 5 and class 4 shield cell bank. Then run two hull reinforcement in the class 2 and 1 internal slots. Weapons are fine maybe try 2 pulse or 2 beams. Oh and don't kid yourself the point defence does next to nothing so run 2 heat sinks for the scbs. Alternatively for weapons run 4 medium multis and a huge beam/pulse. Just remember to pull-out when you run out of scbs. If you have horizons invest in a thermal bi-weave shield and resistances augmented booster.

My FDL doesn't have much punch, but it's entirely Ammoless.
All Gimballed Pulse Lasers. Lol

It's better used for bounty hunting, but perfectly fine for CZ, though kills are slower, but no rearm time, until your SCBs run out.
So it kinda balances.

She's not really modded yet. Just FSD grade 5, DD 3, and that's about it.

I tend to just use my Python in CZs now.
It's more fun
