My vulture and me (outfitting)

[INSTIG8R]

Hey man how did you go with this setup in the end?

 

[X-Terminator]

A4 Shield Gen leaves room for A5 SCB + lighter and more agile. 2x Chaff is cheap defence (only uses 1 each time) and saves running back for more too often. I found 1 Shield Booster is ample as you can only power 1 really whilst weapons drawn. You can also use Hull Upgrade. 2x Gimbled Pulse Lasers work best for me. Power Management of up to 120% down to 99% in weapon mode.

Here's my Vulture. I prioritize internal modules over hardpoints. I've tried prioritizing hardpoints, but seeing less than A-class internal modules gives me a nervous twitch.

To be honest I haven't had an opportunity to test these priorities in the field, but it looks good on paper!

Powered off

• cargo hatch (no racks)
• first shield cell bank (can only power one at a time, powering both will trip priority 4 and 3 modules)

Priority 4 - powers down when hardpoints deploy

• frame shift drive
• fuel scoop
• second shield cell bank (must retract hardpoints to use)

Priority 3 - first to power down with power plant damage

• kill warrant scanner
• shield boosters (power these down manually before using a shield cell or if shields go down to reduce recharge time)
• life support
• sensors

Priority 2 - combat modules, second to power down with power plant damage

• pulse lasers (can't power burst or beams, gimballed for max subsystem damage)
• power distributor (pips to engines to facilitate evac)
• shield generator

Priority 1 - if this powers down you're dead

• thrusters
