I have read billions of "FDL vs Clipper" topics and everyone said "Clipper is a gorgeous cheap multipurpose ship but FDL is a clear choice for combat bla bla" than
decided to work on theory and numbers. I made two different combat builds, one of them is close to my current FDL (just a bit over engineered) and other one is a combat Clipper.
I'm not trying to prove one ship better than other but trying to understand do I miss something or something's wrong or damn what's happening here?? [where is it]
Please look at my two builds.
