Ships Fer-de-Lance I need help outfitting my FDL for combat

[MadDreamer]

Hi, I recently got the FDL, and outfitted it to my needs for only combat, but during combat, my shield recharges very slowly, and it takes time to deplete the opponent's shield because my ship keeps heating up. Could it be that I did not set the module priorities correctly, or do I need to change the outfit?

I attached the link to the coriolis of my build, kindly check it out. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

(Also totally off topic, I have "Hostile" written at the bottom right of my HUD, what do I do about that?)

Beams run hot. For a mostly unengineered standard mc/laser build most would do either one Huge mc/laser and 4 med mc/lasers. Pulse for 4, one huge can be beam. You don't mention what you're fighting but anything with a large shield is going to take work with only 2 lasers. If you have engineering you could consider efficient lasers.

Unengineered shields can be a trial but I suspect you are also not doing enough pip management in combat. More pips in SYS can help your shield come up faster and reduce weapon heat. In a unengineered FDL you really need to work those pips. That's true for most ships but some like the FDL really need it unmodified.

If you are worried about slow shield regen maybe consider going with bi-weaves. They do have a bit less total MJ but they will come back quicker. Not sure if you are considering engineering, but it does make a good ship great.

Here is mine for reference (it's pretty much the old META before Rails/PA): https://s.orbis.zone/qx8k

Yeah I tried Bi-weaves as well, but they are not as fast as they sound, I guess I'll just stick to the normal shield generators and I'll just engineer them. So far I've only engineered some multi cannons. Also, I see that you have almost everything engineered in ur build, that's quite impressive to me.

The FDL is a murder machine, unfortunately it requires some meaningful engineering (i.e. G3-G5 range) to unleash its destructive power.

Try adding here engineers/grade you've unlocked, so the audience here can better address you to a more effective build.

Efficient Beams and Thermal Resist BiWeaves would be my suggestion. But - obviously - that involves engineering!!

Focused PA's hehe. Absolute hoot! The Lance can take heat damage better than any other ship. So focused thermal conduit works well for me assuming you like it up close.
Rails too. I got a couple of lances. One with all rails the other all PA's. Like em both.
Prismatics essential!
Lots of armour !
