When I had my FDL I had a 3D Beam in the H spot and 2 x 3D Cannons in the L spots all turreted plus 2 x Seeker Missile racks in the M spots. All I did was steer and was unbeatable in combat. I still haven't found a better combination. I engineered the Beam to G5 Overcharged and the Cannons to G2 Short Range Blasters and had the Seekers G5 High Cap modded. I think if the Multi Cannons went to 3D turreted they would outdo the Cannons but that is probably why you can only get them over 2 as gimballed or fixed.

Fdl has no L slots.
I want one of those FDL's please, they really would rule the Space!!
You're right I was getting mixed up with the Python as I don't have the FDL now and going from memory. It was either 2E turreted Cannons or 2F turreted Multi's I had on the FDL, either way she was a death machine and a joy to go into battle with. If I was solely interested in combat it would be my permanent ship but I like to diversify with missions, cargo and passengers and the Anaconda is best for a multi role until I rank enough for a Corvette.
So... after getting sick of being pushed around by the big ships in Haz Res, I decided to make a proper assassin ship. Mostly it's my old one, but I've swapped out the multicannons for torpedoes (reverb) and (after a few ships managed to get away) have changed the dumbfire from super pen to fsd reboot.

Very Nice indeed Ozram. Question: Are DF better than Heat seekers with FSD Reboot?
Fsd reboot only available on dumbfires. We can all be grateful for that!
Ah, that will be a good answer....Thanks!
Would you consider HS with Drag and target Drives to stop them from escaping? or are you happy with the DF with FSD Reboot?

I'll have to do more testing as I haven't had a chance to use the fsd reboots yet. I do love dumbfire missiles though and use them quite a bit. For this build, I prefer to keep everything fixed but the torps.
Reverb Cascade torps. They damage the shield gen directly. It's a Hail Mary. After they're fired I have the huge plasma and the dumbfire missile to fight with.
Oh, and just this morning I had the chance to finally upgrade my drives. Previous were DD3s from Farseer. Now I have something a tad more respectable, from Palin:
And with torps swapped out for cannons:

Hi Guys!
Planning to join your Club tonight
Got already some nice input from this thread and this is what I got planned so far in my lunch break
https://eddp.co/u/5nvGxTcK
Mods are just "coriolis best rolls" and are depending on the engineers I already unlocked and Mats I have in stock...
Any suggestions are welcome
(especially obvious concerning weapons loadout...
What would be best next to that huge PA, and which mods/special would you suggest?)

)Still not set in my builds, but having fun. FDL vs FDL non standard builds. I think we both have a feedback rail but he went with pulse lasers and that bipass shields and I have a 3 cannons (2xHY and 1 FS) and a Huge efficient TLB Plasma:

Ok folks I have been thoroughly enjoying my Dakka Mur-der-lance currently running 5 MC's because I am a big dirty MC sssssslut. [haha]
I have finally got the A rated PP so I can start upgrading the important stuff, as she's mainly my casual Haz/Hi RES Bounty Hunting ship I plan on the tried and tested shield tank build, but I have a question.
Prismatic shields, worth it over the standard 5A Shields?? I plan on running a shield booster to supplement and as I am not that skilled a flier yet I tend to lean towards head on fly by's against other ships.

With stock prismatic 5A + 4 augmented boosters you'll get around 19% (1010 MJ) more strength than stock 5A + 4 augmented boosters (848 MJ), if you G5 reinforce the 5A Prismatic and use 4xG5 heavy duty boosters it's up to 2357 MJ but mass and power draw are way up, so SCB's are probably out due to lack of power and you'd need heatsinks.
One idea I've heard mentioned is running a class 4 Prismatic for the same shield strength as a 5A and a class 5 SCB to keep it topped up, a G5 reinforced 5A Prismatic and 4xG5 heavy duty boosters will be 2028 MJ and still have enough power for a class 5 SCB.

Thanks again Ceekay, very much appreciated!
I have been called a sell out but I have finally started to Engineer a Fer-De-Lance I had since 1.4 that has been in Storage and was not even A-Rated.
Had fun with the last two Bounty Hunting CGs and even got into the top 75% with the trade and rares CG
For general Mission Running pre Engineering
Combat CGs Pre engineered
Currently on the Guardians Mission, figure if one is to do Space Archeology, may as well so it in Style
