Resistance is futile!
So yeah, I finally (after playing since beta) got one. Very much enjoying coming up with a variety of builds. The latest one is a mix of cannons (frag, multies and single shot). I don't have access to prismatics (soon) but so far the shields aren't obscenely low or anything. When looking at the shield stats, I noticed they include the combined hull strength including boosters, but not combined resistances.

If you want to see your resistances, check your right hand panel and look under Status, then flick to Statistics - your defense stats should be listed first. Including your total resistances for your shields, and then hull.

I had no idea I could do that. Will look for it now. +1 rep!
Edit: Very useful!

I purchased a FDL shortly after buying this game, and for whatever reason, I was put off by the offset seating and the fact that I couldn't a-rate the ship right from the get-go. Today, I decided to give it another go, so I sold the FAS and bought a FDL. A-rated everything important, outfitted her with 4 class 2 MCs and a huge beam underneath. Put two point defense up top and two on the bottom just for good measure.

Maybe it was because the first time I didn't have my TrackIR like I do now, but for whatever reason, I like her. The offset seating is taking a bit to get used to with regard to lining things up, but it's tolerable. Love the interior. It doesn't look like some beat up POS like my AspE does on the inside. :)

DISCLAIMER: I play solo PVE only, and am currently only rated Expert, Tycoon, and Pathfinder so I am not seeing the maxed out ships an Elite rated player would. Which is a good thing as I'm still learning how to fly and fight at the same time. :D

Anyway, I went looking for a haz res close by but could only find a high res. Dove in hoping to find a few ships to try one-on-one before all the little green dots show up and kill everything. Took on two clippers, two pythons, a FAS, a FGS, a AspE, and a Vulture. Basically anything that flew up to me and scanned me (and was wanted) I opened up on. Worst damage to me was they managed to get through the first two rings of my shields. I basically put 2.5 pips to sys and weps and one to engines. When I got a break I would put 4 pips to sys to help shield regen but I don't know if that helps or not. I know these are not real powerful ships I went up against compared to what some of you go against in PVP, but the FDL is not like any ship I've owned previously. I don't bounty hunt, but I can see why people who do like this ship.

Fast, agile, and decently armed. I think I'll be keeping this one for a while. Need to give her a coat of paint though.

The FLD´s interior is just wonderful.
It makes me feel sad I cannot see the rest of the ship´s interior.
And it strikes me seeing how big the ship is.

Anyway. Great.

Yes, the bridge is big enough to host a party.

But currently I appreciate a good dirty roll on my FDL, 392 m/s cruising spee and 527 m/s boosted in a somewhat lightwheight combat trim. In exploration trim this will boost mauch faster - the multiplier went off the chart in the adjustment phase. :)
And I've got only one shot as I had only one cracked industrial firmware!

Finally! A decent paint job other than Black Friday and the default one (admittedly, the tactical ones aren't bad, but I'd rather see bolder colors on a sexy ship like this, and the vibrant ones are too monochrome, they make it look like a toy).

Looking good. :D - and if I could figure out how to use the new camera controls, I'd take a shot of my own ship with one of those paintjobs.

You have to go to the options menu and input the camera controls manually. It's annoying at first but once finished you're good to go.
