Ship Builds & Load Outs I've got room for one defensive module slot (besides shields). SCB, HRP, or MRP?

definetly, as class 2 and 3 scb are rather week. in small moduls compartements HRP are the better trade off in terms of hitpoints. whether HRP or MRP depends whether you tend to loose shields in combat and experience NPC with missiles, which will strip you from external moduls. if that is the case, MRP are the way to go.
Frankly NPCs aren't a problem regardless, and a class3 SCB has been more than enough to prevent them from even scratching my hull. But I suspect MRPs might prevent my powerplant from getting shot out in the first railgun volley.
well, if you have no problem with your current build, why changing it at all
I have found on my FdL that HRP and MRP are both useful. I think for me the MRP is actually more important, though, based on a recent experience in a CZ where I got just a bit too much aggro and when my shields dropped I encountered a power plant malfunction very rapidly even though I was still at ~90% hull. I managed to escape that fight in one piece, but only narrowly, and so I invested in a size 2 MRP. No problems with module damage since I installed it.
You have a slot FREE in a KB??? I'm usually thinking of what I can do without when I fit out my KB's!
For me though a slot 2-3 is only good for HRP. The SCB's I find aren't really that useful and the KB got the trader hull buff so it's quite a decent tank. But TBH IMO I'd use that slot for more utility for whatever the task is at hand.
Dedicated cargo slot, dedicated fighter bay slot, dedicated shield slot, dedicated SRV slot. That leaves a "flexible" class2 and class3 depending on what I'm up to.
And yeah often it's utility stuff, but if I'm going out fighting it's nice to have a defensive measure or two.

LOL Fair enough. I'd go HRP then.
