think I've finally nailed my loadout for my Vulture. All under 100% power too!

Ships my loadout
- Thread starter hoppingdeth
- Start date
5a thrusters are for ships weighing 840t optimum and 1260t max. Mine only weighs 342 max, so you gain nothing for the power it uses. I don't think any class 5 thrusters are need for a vulture unless you start adding lots of armor and increase the mass massively.
the fsd and lack of fuel scoop is a trade off. Yup i do have to refuel on long journeys but i don't have to deal with the added complication of disabling fsd in battle to get power to where its really needed.
I've been running gimballed beams for a while now and I've got so used to managing them, but if i can find some suitable big pulses then im going to try those.

I'm not at my computer but that is my build. absolutely rides the line on power supply but sits at 99.9 percent basically with weapons deployed with the right modules on secondary priority. I wish there was room for a scb but there were too many compromises to make that happen.

Thrusters seem to dictate the max speeds, regardless of the optimums. I regard A-rated, max-class thrusters as compulsory on basically any combat ship.
you don't know what are you talking about, 4D are sufficient enough
I wonder what is the boost speed with 4D? (I can't remember the 5D one either actually)

I'm running 4C thrusters at the mo (still looking for 4D) and I get 340 on boost. What do you get on a class 5?
And do you know what your top speed is at 4 pips?
Completely agree. When you're mass locked by a Clipper, 390 is hard enough to escape with, but at 340, well you can forget it.
I'm sure 340 is a speed a Python can catch you with too.
Damn right, My Vulture is called "The Mongoose" because it eats all kinds of snakes including the Imperial Clipper Snake and the Federal Drop Snake* as well as Anacondas and Pythons.
Any Vulture that has to run away from a Clipper unless it already has heavy damage is clearly badly fitted, a Vulture should be able to munch Clippers non-stop without taking any significant damage at all.
That's regarding PvE, the loadout for a PvP may have different priorities.
* Hunts in the same manner as the Australian Drop Bear
